I am trying to lead a group meeting at my work about money management. I usually try to plan for 30% of my check to go towards shelter (rent/mortgage and utilities), 10% or more to go into savings, and 10% or more to go into tythe/donations/gifts. I want to express budgeting as an easy to do formula and I got stuck when trying to come up with a good percentage for groceries/eating out every month. What do you think? What percentage of your income (approximately) goes toward food in your houshold?
