Put Ramit Sethi's rule through your numbers

One rule JMM has located in a dated source, rebuilt as a working calculator, and taken a position on. One outside party has published a figure on it, and that number is on the page next to the rule.

Where does your money sit against Sethi’s four bands?

Not every rule here survives its own arithmetic

JMM does not grade this rule as a set. The verdict on conscious spending plan calculator is where the position turns critical: The best idea here is putting fun money in the budget. The percentages are the weakest part of it.

Each page separates three things people usually run together: what the source states, what JMM's model adds to make it computable, and where the rule itself breaks. The last one is not the calculator's limitations list. It is the failure of the idea, which is the part the person who published the rule has no reason to write down.
