Hi fishes, Just curious to know what percentage of your income do you generally save? I know this would largely vary based on whether a person stays with his parents, or stays elsewhere, single/ married, liabilities, etc. In my case, I stay with my parents and unmarried. How much should ideally be my saving vs my income?

Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
