Chartered Accountant Advises Revised Budgeting to Improve Wealth Creation

Chartered Accountant Nitin Kaushik warns that many salaried professionals struggle with wealth creation due to increased spending following salary hikes. He critiques the common 50-30-20 budgeting rule, noting that people often budget backwards by spending first and saving later. Kaushik advises allocating 50% of income to needs, 30% to investments, and 20% to lifestyle expenses, emphasizing that treating investments as a leftover harms long-term financial growth. He highlights that rapid expense growth, including EMIs and rent, can consume up to 70% of salaries early in the month.
