So I
I would be keeping, depending on what you're doing, again, we've got no idea, which makes it a little bit hard to advise or suggest, but I would be keeping maybe a portion aside for those sorts of things if those are things that you need to pay for.
But if you're taking everything else out,
from your side hustle and you're just keeping it as like earnings or money straight to yourself.
I would be inclined to uphold the system because I'm assuming that you've created this structure for a reason.
You're investing a huge chunk of your money.
40% is a lot.
So I'm guessing you're maybe trying to do fire or working towards some kind of significant goal there, make up for some lost time maybe.
If you feel like you are living super frugally, like that 50-40-10 split is really pushing you a little bit, then maybe you can consider using some of it for fun money.
I would maybe steer away from using all of it because I think you're working so hard.
You're working a side hustle in addition to a full-time job.
Let's make sure that that money is working hard for you as well.
Sure.
But, you know, you can take a little portion out of it each week if you wanted to say you have your pool of money that's come out of your side hustle and 80% of that goes into your system.
So then, you know, 40%, 50%, 10% and 20% of that gets set aside as fun money savings for something that you want.
Like that could work.
But I think if you've gone to the effort of setting up a structure, stick to the structure.
Don't make life hard for yourself.
Yes.
Yeah, I agree.
