Here are suggested percentage guidelines based on net income compiled by various financial studies. They are only recommended percentages and will change dramatically if you have a very high or very low income. For instance, if you have a very low income your necessities percentages will be high. If you have a high income, your necessities will be a lower percentage or income and hopefully savings (not debt) will be higher than recommended. These percentages for educational purposes only.
