50-30-20 Rule:
Allocate your after-tax income into three categories: 50% for needs (essentials like rent, groceries, and utilities), 30% for wants (entertainment, dining out), and 20% for savings and debt repayment. This simple framework helps balance spending and saving.

1% Rule of Impulse Buys:
For any unplanned purchase that costs more than 1% of your annual income, wait 24 hours before buying. This pause helps curb impulse spending and allows you to evaluate whether the purchase is necessary.


The Rule of 72:
This rule helps you estimate how long it will take for your investments to double. Divide 72 by your annual rate of return. For example, if your investment grows at 6% per year, it will take about 12 years to double (72/6 = 12).


3X Emergency Fund Rule:
Aim to save at least three months’ worth of living expenses in an emergency fund. This fund provides a financial cushion in case of job loss, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen expenses.


The Rule of Automation:
Automate your savings by setting up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account or investment accounts. This ensures consistent saving and reduces the temptation to spend.


Item In, Item Out Rule:
For every new non-essential item you purchase, consider getting rid of an old one. This rule not only helps manage clutter but also encourages mindful spending by making you think twice about new purchases.

By following these rules, you can develop disciplined saving habits, better manage your finances, and work towards achieving your financial goals.
