🥰 it's cute you remember

1.5k or 20%

20-25% of my after tax income

At least $1100/ month, I zero out accounts before every paycheck and find myself saving a fe hundred more. In total, 1100- 1500/ month. Cash is king.

80%.. living below my means under the pandemic

$4k, 50%

I save around 5-800 in cash and all the rest goes to investments or debt.

% of cash is 3-6%. Investments are 25%. Debt service is 20%.

Specific question regarding cases: I’m realizing while practicing that there is no “correct” structure in any given case (i.e., it seems to me that your structure can be different to the solution, without being “wrong”). So how should I know that my structure is good/detailed enough? Any indicators?
