Financial Literacy - How to Balance Income and Expenses

  • Achieving financial stability requires a balance between income and expenses.

    (Example for clarity purpose: If your monthly income is AED 12,000, allocate 50% (AED 6,000) for essentials, 25% (AED 3,000) for savings, and 25% (AED 3,000) for discretionary spending. Adjust these percentages based on your financial goals.)

  • Start by creating a monthly budget to track your income and categorize your spending.

    (Example of a monthly budget table):
