📊 Start With a Simple Budget

The planner includes a flexible 50/30/20 starting framework:

50% — Needs

Food • Transport • Academic expenses • Essential bills

30% — Wants

Social activities • Entertainment • Non-essential spending

20% — Savings & Investing

The 50/30/20 rule is also used in Ghanaian financial education, but it should be adjusted to fit your actual income and student circumstances.
