At NerdWallet, we often talk about the 50-30-20 budget where you have 50% of your take-home pay going to needs.
30% to wants and 20% to debt payments above the minimum and savings.
But of course, you can adjust those numbers to whatever fits your life.
So sometimes it's 60-20-20, whatever works for you.
And that guideline, it just gives you an estimate of where you can think about how you're spending.
The best thing that a person can do just to be prepared to navigate this is to be engaged with your finances no matter what you're going through.
So whether you're single, you're married, you're happily married, you still want to make sure you're just understanding your money and able to take over all aspects of it if needed.
because all kinds of things, unexpected things can happen.
Divorce is one, but a partner becoming ill or incapacitated, anything can happen.
So you just want to make sure that you are engaged with your finances, because I think if you can reduce that stress of suddenly having to manage every aspect of your money, if at least that part is a little bit easier, it can help reduce the rest of the stress in your life.
My biggest final thought is just reiterating that it's so helpful if you're going into a big life transition like a divorce, already being engaged with, okay, where's my money?
What are my assets?
Where are my liabilities?
If you can answer all of that quickly because you've been thinking about it, it just puts you in a better position to handle any kind of big life change.
Right.
Thank you for having me.
Hi, Sean and Elizabeth.
Thank you so much for having me.
Well, money shame is basically feeling badly about the way that you're handling money or decisions that you're making.
It's actually pretty common.
