How much do you save of your salary or do you only save your bonus? Don't feel like I live that extravagantly and my analyst salary is fully drained every month.

I save half of my paycheck every month. I divide that into two: half of that goes to a high yield savings and the other half my regular savings

I spend ~3k per month and save the rest. Getting a good deal on rent is prob the biggest driver. Don't get suckered into those deals with 1 month free!

Oh yes I save 15% on 401K also

Yes I used to use GE Capital but they were just acquired by Goldman so I'm with Ally now

Wait wait. Assuming $85k base and 32% tax total, that leaves you with $4816 a month. 50% gone to savings, you guys live on $2416 a month? That's pretty damn impressive considering rent is like 75% of thar

*$2408

How can you assume $85k base? 😂😂😂 so random but no

Oh sorry sometimes I feel like everyone here is an IBD analyst haha. Your breakout makes much more sense on a high salary. How do you recommend the breakout for what I described?

Also there’s no way to know how my bonus compares to my peer

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.

These family members conditions made me reevaluate how I want to spend my life. I am 35 this year and I can’t decide if I should take great vacations with my kids or keep living a frugal life. Do you have the same dilemma?
