I believe the ratio is just a guideline, but the actual ratio you use should be personalised to your lifestyle. Maybe youāre now living with your parents and you donāt have much expenses. You could lower the expenses to like 30%, and allocate more for investments and savings.
For me, I still live with my parents. So I allocate more for investments and lesser for savings because I have a few more years before I actually would live in my own house. So time is on my side to build the emergency fund. And this allows me to maximise the compounding effect of my investments.
