Other family expenditures include shopping (S$800), family outings (S$800), gifts (S$450) and so on.<\/p>\n<p>With monthly savings taking up only about 6% of their monthly household income, it falls short of the recommended 20% based on the 50\/30\/20 rule.<\/p>\n<p>The rule basically states that you should reserve 50% of your monthly income for essentials like transportation and food, 30% for discretionary expenditures and at least 20% for savings.<\/p>\n<p>For the couple, if we assume their monthly investments as low-risk, fixed-rate savings with 100% guaranteed return on principal, then that would put them closer to 17%.<\/p>\n<p>The home, if it appreciates by the time they sell it, would also guarantee a return on investment in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<h2>Is your savings and spending behaviours similar to this couple?
