The saying is 20%. This includes retirement savings. So for you that's 18,000.
I say make a savings goal, put it away immediately, guilt free spend whatever after that goal, and oh look you have extra? Save that too.
I have none of those, but the guilt catches up with me. I definitely don't spend the rest at all (and save more than recommended, but I live in a very cheap location)
I would push that to 40% if you don’t have debt/mortgage/kids etc. Very doable if your only major expense is rent
I would say save a least 20% as the minimum. You should be able to save a lot more. But start there. Of course pay off loans first.
Make sure at some point you sit down and understand what your goals are. Of you're saving for a house, your other savings may dip a bit. If you're trying to retire earlier, you'll need to bump up that savings rate.
Suspect you’re at BCG as an Associate making 90. I would max out your 401k to benefit from the tax too. If you put 20% withholding that brings you to 18K, now look at your monthly paycheck and see if you can reasonably live on that. If yes, max your Roth IRA for the next 2 years. If no, scale back the % a bit. This is what I did my first two years and worked great
