Elijah should budget $1,631.72 for needs, $979.03 for wants, and $652.69 for savings and debt service. When choosing where to live, what to eat, and what to drive, he should make choices that keep those costs, combined with debt service costs, gasoline, and utilities, below $1,631.72. This means he will have to make decisions about what his priorities are. Elijah should then figure out his wants, and stay within the limits here, that is, keep those costs below $979.03. Finally, he can begin to build his savings with the remaining $652.69.

She only has budgeted $1,061.83 for other necessities. It is difficult to imagine Fran being able to afford to change jobs and move, unless she reallocates money that she would want to save or use for entertainment or takes on another job. If Fran uses all the money that the 50-30-20 budget sets aside for savings, she then would have $1,790.16 to spend on those other necessities. If she moves away from the 50-30-20 philosophy, she may be able to afford the move. However, that means changing her priorities.
