[Paperboywriter]

Trying to figure this out. How much do you save?

About 75%, a mix of saving for specific events and long term investments.

 

[erlim]

I moved from LA to London, in getting situated I've basically gone over budget every month.

 

[Deleted member 33533]

I have $100 automatically go into my saving account every paycheck which is only once a month.

 

[Mesoian]

It used to be a lot. But over the past 3 or so years...

 

[PrimeBeef]

About $1,000-1,500.

 

[Ponn]

How can this possibly help you figure out anything when you dont ask for income or expenses to compare?

 

[DJ_Lae]

Save?

$1,000 into a pension plan (matched 1.1x by employer) but nowhere near that in terms of personal saving.

 

[Telaso]

About 1200 USD a month between everything.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

How do you define savings? Like I have a 401k come right out of my paycheck. Does that count?

 

[C.Mongler]

I put 3% of my salary into my organization's 403(b). Then I also put $300 a month into a savings account (about 8% of my take home salary). I probably need to shift this around a bit once life circumstances permit, but currently I need to have a better nest egg of on-hand cash.

 

[Xando]

700 - 1000 € + about 50 € per month into stocks.

 

[IronicSonic]

Zero. There are months I go red on my numbers but the next month I do some adjustment and back to the flat line.

I guess I'm one paycheck away from poverty

 

[Reckheim]

Once my chequing account gets to a certain point, I put a certain amount into savings so that I don't feel like I can spend it.

usually do that every 3 months, sometimes longer if i have any big expenses.

 

[violent]

2-3000 depending on month distributed across retirement, savings, and investments.

 

[entremet]

Are you talking about savings in savings account or investment as well?

 

[sleepnaught]

$1,200-$1,500. I don't really get out as much as I should, so, that kinda helps me save a bit. I really need to start investing, but haven't a clue on where to begin.

 

[aisback]

I have my pension through Work and I don't normally save anything.

I am looking into saving £100-£200 a month though

It's going to be a tough one

 

[nightstalker962]

I try to save $800 a month from my paycheck after 401k gets taken out.

 

[Nerdyone]

In total, about $3k a month split between savings and 401k

 

[Meatfist]

$500/mo 401(k), $2K-4K/mo liquid savings between the wife and I. Building up a decent emergency fund and getting some house repairs done before we move more of that into retirement or other investments

 

[Massicot]

If you count my 401k, I'm maxing that out.

If not, honestly not much, but I'm planning to save and invest more once my car is paid off with my next paycheck.

 

[sirap]

90% of what I make each month. I live alone and grow most of my food so living expenses aren't too bad.

Every now and then I do splurge on headphones and keyboards. They're my weakness :p

 

[BeeDog]

Right now trying to keep it to €1000 every month, give or take.

 

[Jerm]

$0

It all goes into rent, phone, internet, medical, car, insurance, etc. I actually am short most of the time, if I lost my job I keep a gun in my house and that's my answer for that

 

[Mediking]

Like..... roughly $500

 

[Bakercat]

I was able to save about $45 this month...then had to pull out $20 for groceries until February...

 

[tabris]

Outside of mortgage payments into real estate investments and temporary savings (like for my upcoming Italy trip), I save $0.

 

[Panic Freak]

Zero outside of my retirement account.

 

[CreepingFear]

My spreadsheet that I started last March is stating $1400. That is after the 6% 401k for company match. It's probably closer to $1000, since this includes reimbursement, vacation payout, and a meal penalty check.

 

[BeforeU]

~1000

 

[Kasai]

Zero dollars. My actual bank account has $1.01 in it right now, until Friday

 

[entremet]

Outside of mortgage payments into real estate investments and temporary savings (like for my upcoming Italy trip), I save $0.

Click to shrink...

I remember. You more of a fan property investment than retirement accounts. Any reasoning?

 

[Neo C.]

approximately $1000, big part of it into investment, the rest for retirement.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I could save about $1000 or so but I am mostly irresponsible so I usually buy myself something every time I have that extra money in there. Or spend it on going out. I've gone hermit styles and could save upwards of $1400/month. But NOPE

 

[TylersProphecy]

Zero dollars flat. I have worked since I was fifteen (am 35 now) and will never even be able to afford rent on my own let alone save. Woot woot.

 

[neatsaux]

Good one, OP. Good one.

 

[KingFrost92]

~$600 per month for emergencies after bills and expenses, more or less depending on the time of year, utility bill cost, etc. That's mostly due to debts being paid off. Once those are out of the way, I'll be paying more into a 401K.

 

[PassiveObserver]

Besides the 3% into the 401k, nada.

 

[Khanimus]

You ain't gettin' any info outta me, tax man!

 

[sibarraz]

*Chuckles as a millenial*

Zero.

Although to be fair, I was keeping afloat the house with my jobless parents for 2 years, but he now found a very good job, and also I got a salary raise, so maybe next month I will start saving some money

 

[MasterSummerSmith462]

Not enough, probably around $900 between savings and 401(k)s

 

[Shaun Solo]

lol wut

live paycheck to paycheck my guy

 

[Awesome Kev]

Lol

 

[Roxas]

Seeing as how I make about 1000 USD a month I'd echo the Zero crowd

 

[Deleted member 4034]

I put about $400 into my savings before taking it back out to spend. Literally saving to pay my taxes this year. So put me in 0 crowd after April.

 

[Vonocourt]

About $150.

 

[TheShampion]

I do 8% for my 401k and $150 per month for Wedding/Vacation expenses. I really should save more, but alas and alack.
