This is a general rule about spending – 50/30/20 rule. 50 percent of your take home income should go towards your needs (such as food, housing, childcare, minimum debt repayment etc.), 30% towards your wants (dining out, travel, clothing, subscriptions, memberships) and the remaining 20% to your savings / debt repayment (emergency funds, retirement, additional payments towards debt).

Now that we are past the frost, it’s time to start our garden. I save our cardboard egg containers to use to start my seeds. Buying seeds (our library gives out free seeds) and starting them indoors will create a budget friendly alternative to buying vegetables at the grocery store. Don’t worry if you don’t have a yard, container gardening works just as well. Simply start with growing your own lettuce or herbs. It’s easy and will help your budget. #JillRussoFoster #FinancialLiteracyMonth

There are other types of insurance you need. If you own or lease a car, you need auto insurance. If you own a home / condo, you need homeowner insurance. If you rent an apartment, you need renter’s insurance. With what is going on in the country (floods, wildfires, mudslides etc.) Make a plan to have your needs assessed so that you’re covered for anything that may happen. #JillRussoFoster #FinancialLiteracyMonth
