2. Devise a Budget
The next step is Devising a Budget which includes all the essentials to living within your means and saving enough to meet your long-term goals.
The 50/30/20 budgeting method offers a great framework. It works like this:
- 50% of your take-home pay or net income (after taxes) goes toward living essentials, such as rent, utilities, groceries, and transport.

- 20% goes toward the future—paying down debt and saving for retirement and emergencies.
