The 80/20 rule in money & relationships


Listen Later

How does the 80-20 rule work in your life? Are you spending your money & time in life the way you want?

In this episode we discuss:

  • The Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule.
  • Defining the 20/30/50 rule.
    • 50% of your income goes to the fixed costs: rent, utilities, food (groceries), and clothes
    • 20% goes to the future costs: pay off debt, investments, savings, emergency fund and retirement.
    • 30% fun costs: (lifestyle) cell phone, cable, internet, movie nights, date nights, gym memberships, travel
  • February's challenge is about relationships. The way we build relationships is shown by how we spend our time.
  • 80% of our time is spent with people you have to spend time with (co-workers, classmates)
  • 20% of our time is spent with people you choose to spend time with (how are we showing our loved ones)
  • How are you spending 20%of your time that you want to spend time with?
  • What does it mean to Think Enriched? It's not all puppy dogs and rainbows.
