The 50-30-20 rule is a suggested budgeting guideline that advises allocating 50% of your income to necessities (like rent, groceries, and utilities), 30% to discretionary spending (like hobbies, entertainment, and travel), and 20% to savings. The goal is to create a balanced budget that allows you to cover your needs, enjoy life, and save for the future.
