What does that mean? Where does the extra money go? Under normal definitions, income = spend + save. That's not an equation to be optimized; it's a tautology.

Wait, why? Where does the money go that is neither spent nor saved?

Income - savings - spending = 0. If you're spending and saving (combined) more than you're income, that's debt.

Your goal should be to maximize the savings section of the equation, and minimize spending.
