Curious to benchmark—(1) what is your annualized rent as a % of your annual base salary and (2) what is your annualized savings/retirement/brokerage as a % of your annual base salary?

In 2017, base was $92.5 and monthly rent was $2900. Leftover got saved.

My base now is $114 and monthly rent has stayed constant. Leftover gets saved.

I don’t regret it. It was tight but I knew my income would increase and I’m thrifty outside of rent.

Yes, thanks for sharing. Thought provoking for learning others’ choices and experiences

My rent is 0. I own.
