Hello guys,

How much % of salary do you save?

While mentioning %, please let us know if you are married/unmarried, pay rent or not.

Just want to know if 70% is enough for a single man who does not pay rent. Or am I saving less money?

That's a great % of income you are saving, you definitely have a good salary package.

I recently got married, paying no rent, saving & investing 40% of my income.
If I pay rent then still I will try to save at least 30%.
But I will not save 70% because I also need money to enjoy outside with family, need fund for trips & travelling, dine-out,shopping etc

If you save 70% u will retire for sure in 10years. Because you made your life very simple and the money in your hand is enough for next 50 years.. ha ha

I'm married, paying rent and children are in school. Saving 10% per month

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
