Those are my only "rules." My emergency fund is full. I save anything beyond my expenses for the short-term.

Do you have any rule of thumb that you follow (for example, spend 20%, save 30%, invest 50%?). I have noticed that as my NI increases, so does my "discretionary" spending. How do you control this?

We use a similar one for our monthly budget and then transfer money into a separate sheet for net worth. it has been very efficient for us. The spread sheet is awesome!!
