Transcript

Take your monthly income, multiply that by 300. That's how much you need to invest to replace your monthly income. Take your monthly income, multiply that by 0.2. That's the minimum that you should be investing monthly, each month. Take your monthly expenses, so your transportation, your car insurance, your phone bill, your rent, your mortgage, child care, whatever it is. All of your monthly expenses, multiply that by three. That's how much you should have saved in your emergency fund, which should also be stored in a high-yield savings account. Lastly, take your monthly income and multiply that by 0.5. That's how much you spend on expenses each month. Try not to go over that.
