Transcript

Take your monthly income and multiply it by 300. This is how much you need to invest to replace your monthly income. Take your monthly income and multiply it by 0.2. And this is how much you should be spending on necessities per month. Take your monthly expenses and times it by three. That's how much you should have in an emergency account.
