Simple steps
- Write down each debt: balance, interest rate, minimum payment.
- Choose a strategy: avalanche (highest interest first) or snowball (smallest balance first).
- Pay minimums on everything, then put all extra money toward your focus debt.
- When a debt is paid off, roll that payment into the next one.

The 50/30/20 rule is a simple framework: 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings/debt. It’s a guideline, not a law.
Quick example
If your after-tax income is $4,000/month:
- Needs (50%): $2,000
- Wants (30%): $1,200
- Savings/Debt (20%): $800
