How much do you save

[fruitrollup]

I save nothing. in debt. paying that off first. paying yourself first is great, if you make enough to exist. I need to move somewhere cheaper than where I am.

10% to 401k

 

[ericraven2003]

4% to 401k
Then on my salary check each month. Just covers bills. My commission check once a month i try to put at 30 to 40% in savings. Sometimes more depending on size of check.

Nothing. In my single period I have manage to save something, but now I am with wife and kids. I am not complain or something.

I follow my own version of the Jars system. Makes me more mindful of my spendings. At least 10% goes to saving, but that could be increased depending on what is left over.

I want to save at least 80-100k euros to invest in the property in Berlin or in Spain. I have read how to do it: https://tranio.com/articles/real-es...-nation-s-most-expensive-urban-agglomeration/

With the lousy return rates of saving accounts I don't get why anyone would throw more than a 1k into saving per check or month when your Roth IRAs and 401k are making at least 5-10 times the rate of return. With Trump in office double that.

If you were saving up for maybe a down pymt on a home, I guess I could understand that more since you want your money to be more liquid and you want to earn a little interest while you save.
