Default Re: How much should I budget for everything?

From practical money matters site:

This chart shows some rough guidelines on how much of your income should go toward different expenses. If you live in an area where transportation is higher than normal or rents/mortgage are higher, you may need to make adjustments. Also, if you would like to add a section for gifts, or something else, then you'll need to subtract from another area.

30% Housing
18% Transportation
16% Food
8% Miscellaneous
5% Clothing
5% Medical
5% Recreation
5% Utilities
4% Savings
4% Other Debts
