The first step to financial fitness is working out a plan (aka a budget), putting that plan into action, measuring your progress, and making adjustments as you go.

Budgeting is a skill that can help you make intelligent decisions with your money, ensuring that you spend less than you earn, preparing you for life’s curveballs, and funding your goals and your dreams.

The introduction of the 50/30/20 budget principle was in a book written by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi. It recommends you spend 50% on your income on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% on savings.
