What % of your salary do you save a month?? I’m curious to know as I’ve been staying with my parents, and don’t have a car so I get to save quite a lot. But I’m moving out soon and will start spending on rent, transportation, food, etc. And I know it will be a hard adjustment to see most of my paycheck go to payments rather than savings

25-30%

22%

I’m by default saving something like 25-30% across retirement accounts and auto brokerage draws. Then I ave another, generally, 5-10% up to 20% additional depending on month.

~33% of gross pay between 401k, Roth IRA, HSA, taxable brokerage, and building EF

A bit above 15%. :(

50%

About 50%. Dual income household

~40% of gross that is between 401k, Roth IRA, and finishing out my emergency fund

Around 80 %

After all the pre tax savings we save 10% net. Should be higher but we like to do life stuff.

Hi All, I have cleared all rounds for GSK and am being offered grade 7, and HR Hasn’t released the offer yet and asking my expectations. He hasn’t given me the full range. I have 9 + years of exp, and CCTC is 20.7 fixed, last year I got 40% bonus on top of my CTC. What is the range which GSK can offer for grade 7? And will it offer 7a or 7b or anything else? Please help!

Seeing how 401k’s, ira’s etc..are mostly based in stocks. What happens if we have another Great Depression and the stock market crash’s.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
