Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a household budget?

List all fixed monthly income and expenses (rent, insurance, subscriptions). Track variable expenses (food, transportation, leisure) for 2-3 months. Then set savings goals and adjust spending categories accordingly.

How much should I spend on rent?

The general guideline is no more than 30-33% of net income for rent including utilities. In expensive cities like Munich or Frankfurt, this can be hard to achieve, but exceeding 40% is considered a financial risk.
