Single male: 10% tithe to the church. 401k: max out $18,000/year. I heard it’s increased to $18,500/year now. So, I have to contribute that this year. 5% Mutual funds. Mind you I have no debt at all; no student loans, no credit card debts, no car payment. I plan to get into stocks this year. Already, met a financial advisor. So, we will see.

Not only did I learned tons of financial lessons and apply it in my daily life. True confession, prior to reading this book my credit score was 538 in 2012. My credit score is 787 now. Checked it today. Hoping to raise it to over 800 this year. Just read the book.

Used to be 37.5%, then started trading crypto with credit cards (had zero debt before), and was making gains, but was reinvesting, instead of paying off credit cards. That 37.5% now goes towards debt which is a lesson learnt, and I have quite a bit of it lol...

If you count 401k as savings, 15% (taken out before I even see it). If you mean a savings account that I put money in and never touch? 1-5%. (I have a house and three kids...)

As a couple, we probably save about 50% of our combined earnings. We use my account to save, so close to 100% saved in my account, SO's account for expenses. We end up saving maybe 5-10% of SO's account. Married and 1 child.

Advisory Consultant 1: Honestly, not been listening to Dave Ramsey. I read a book titled “Debt Cures, They don’t want you to know about” by Kevin Trudeau. It changed the way I handle my finances and opened my eyes to a lot of things Americans don’t know. Thank goodness I read the book cover to cover when I was in graduate school in 2012. I have recommended it to all my siblings and friends.
