How much are you all saving a year? I feel like I’m making good money, but not saving much due to high rent and paying off my student loans.

question is too broad without including your ‘variables’ (income, rent, age, YOE, etc). but for reference, im 25 making 90k (no, i am not an investment banker lol) and i save/invest around 2-2.5k a month (roth, 401k, individual brokerages), rent is 1500 all-in. paid off my student loans a few months ago

I don't really save any of my base salary but do 15% 401k contribution and save entirety of my bonus
