In this episode, we tackle the question every fresh graduate asks: how should you actually budget your first salary? Peter breaks it down into two simple frameworks the 50/30/20 rule for those living with parents, and a 40/30/20/10 variation for those renting outstation but the real lesson goes far beyond the math. We dig into why most people can't stick to a budget past a few months, the psychological reason "spending first" quietly kills your savings, and how something as ordinary as upgrading to a slightly nicer room or signing a car loan can silently break the numbers you worked so hard to balance.

With medical inflation hitting a staggering 16%, many policyholders are feeling the pinch of rising premiums.
