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 save my bonus of none of my salary

15% to 401k and another15% split between personal investment account and savings account. 100% of bonus goes to savings.

I would still save 10-15% in 401K and try to save at least $1000 a month in a HY 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?
