How would you adapt the 50-20-30 expenditure-savings-wealth method when you have to save for big ticket items?

I'm currently trying to save for my wedding and house, and currently use a 50-20-30 system to allocate my income. How would you allocate your income to save for big ticket items? Does it eat into the expenditure budget?

  • Never used that rule for budgeting. There is no fixed formula.
  • Work out the basic expenses for necessities, food, transport...... that is the fixed monthly overhead
  • Then build up emergency fund
  • the rest will need to prioritize, it takes sacrifice. You can rack up the amount you need for the big ticket item in 1 - 3 years.
