💵 Monthly Income vs. Expenses Breakdown
Take-Home Pay: $4,500/month (after taxes)

Recommended Budget: The 50/30/20 Rule (Adjusted for your goal)

Category	Amount	Notes
Needs (50%)	$2,250	Rent, utilities, groceries, insurance, minimum debt payments
Wants (20%)	$900	Dining out, subscriptions, shopping, entertainment
Savings (30%)	$1,350	Includes house down payment savings, emergency fund

🏡 House savings will come from this 30% chunk. We'll plan it weekly below.

📆 Weekly Savings Plan for Your Lifestyle
Goal: Save $40,000 by June 2026 (in 2 years and 1 month or 109 weeks)

$40,000 ÷ 109 weeks = ~$370 per week

Weekly Plan
Automatic transfer of $375/week to a high-yield savings account titled “My First Home.”

Monthly Adjusted Allocation:

Wants: ~$750

Savings: $1,500

✂️ Actionable Tips to Reduce Unnecessary Expenses
