Step 1: Make a Health Budget

Dr. Jared Silberlust

A health budget is the share of your take-home pay you dedicate to improving your health for the short-term and long-term.

Here's how financial experts recommend you spend your income:

PercentCategoryAdded Up
30%Housing30%
20%Food50%
20%Savings/Investing70%
20%Fun90%

That only gets you to 90%. I recommend specifically dedicating the last 10% to your most important investment: your health.

You're too busy to spend hours researching what actually works. I'll tell you exactly what I'd tell my patients: how much you should set aside, and where your money is best spent.
