Financial Basics

The foundation of personal finance is understanding the difference between income (money coming in) and expenses (money going out). Financial health depends on maintaining a positive cash flow where income exceeds expenses.

Needs vs Wants

Distinguishing between needs (essential expenses) and wants (discretionary spending) is crucial for effective budgeting. Needs include housing, food, healthcare, while wants include entertainment, dining out, and luxury items.

💡 Pro Tip: 50/30/20 Rule

Allocate 50% of income to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings and debt repayment. This simple rule helps maintain financial balance.

✅ Quick Action

Track your expenses for one month to identify areas where you can reduce spending and increase savings.
