M1 is the narrowest, most liquid measure of the money supply in an economy, representing currency immediately available for transactions. It consists primarily of physical cash (banknotes and coins) in circulation, demand deposits (checking accounts), and other checkable deposits. M1 measures the "money" used for daily purchases.
M1, M2 and M3 are measurements of the United States money supply, known as the money aggregates. M1 includes money in circulation plus checkable deposits in banks. M2 includes M1 plus savings deposits (less than $100,000) and money market mutual funds. M3 includes M2 plus large time deposits in banks. Back to glossary.
M3 = M1 + Time deposits with the banking system. M2 = M1 + Savings deposits of post office savings banks. M1 = Currency with public + Demand deposits with the Banking system (savings account, current account).

The 70% money rule, often part of the 70/20/10 budget rule, is a simple budgeting guideline that suggests allocating your after-tax income into three main categories: 70% for essential living expenses (needs like rent, groceries, bills), 20% for savings and investments, and 10% for debt repayment or financial goals (wants/future goals). It provides a clear framework for controlling spending, building wealth, and managing debt, though percentages can be adjusted for individual financial situations.
