The importance of financial education: Organizing your finances to gain the clarity you'll need to maneuver in surviving, thriving, & succeeding in our financial world & to build up our economy. Check out the Automatic Millionaire audiobook by financial expert David Bach below. This is the same exact formula in "The Millionaire Next Door," how the majority of America's millionaires became rich overtime. To Do: Use the example & apply it to your real life expenses. This person is a single working adult that makes $2,000/ month. Calculate 10% of your monthly income for fun money expenses & 8% for savings. Fun: $200 Rent+utilities: $700 Savings: $150 Gas: $90 Car Ins: $200 Student Loans: $100 Groceries: $100 Credit Card: $200 Total: $1742 Money Cushion (or what’s left over) $2000-$1742=$258. In 6 months it will add up to be $1,548 and can easily be used as an emergency fund. You can change the percentages slightly to better cater to your financial needs.
