Take your monthly income after tax. Split it three ways.

50% Needs — Rent, utilities, groceries, transport.
30% Wants — Restaurants, entertainment, subscriptions.
20% Savings and Investments — Emergency fund, retirement, wealth building.

It gives you permission to spend on what you enjoy while still building wealth. Calculate your after-tax monthly income. Multiply by 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2. Those are your three limits.
