The ancient law (for want of a better phrase) - source, Dharma

1/6 - spouse
1/6 - progeny
1/6 - parents
1/6 - spouse's parents
1/6 - charity (depending on your vocation)
Remainder - self and general purposes

Having lived a life of almost near penury these last 17-18 months, I managed  
upto 4/7 of dharma and no further. 

Without sounding parochial, further pointers in the yagnavalkya smriti and 
(separately), santi parva of the mahābhāratā.
