The 50/30/20 rule simplifies money management by allocating income into three categories: 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings. For example, if your monthly income is $3000, allocate $1500 for rent, groceries, and bills (needs), $900 for dining out, entertainment, and shopping (wants), and $600 for savings and debt repayment (savings). This rule provides a clear framework for budgeting and financial stability.
