I put over 50% into my early retirement fund and 4% into 401k. For context, 16 YOE, white female who lives in suburban Ohio and I’m child free. House and car paid off last year. It took a lot of determination and hard work and luck to get here.

Umm...great at spending....not so great at saving.

I..uh...what's "savings"?

I..uh...what's "savings"?

My spending is even burrowing at my savings for a while now. Prices getting hikey.

Weekly is hard to say, but over the course of the year I try to save 40% of my net income. I've been averaging 35%+ for the last 6 months. That's mostly because of a partner that works full time. Once kids are introduced, will definitely have to reevaluate.

I’m curious to hear how you did it and what your job is. How long did it take, what location, what was your process to landing your job? I mentored some junior designers who are looking for their first job in UX now - almost all career transitioners, several years out of college already - and I’m wondering what it’ll be like for them out there on the job hunt.
