What's your salary split when it comes to investments/housing/savings/bills/other? I'm only managing to put 7% in savings, 13% in investments, housing is costing me close to 22%, the kids' school and childcare are eating close to 24%, the rest goes to bills and life.

You mean savings account ? That’s an awful lot to put in a savings account on a regular basis. Investments are savings as well unless you are doing options

I would say you are doing pretty well if you are putting 7% in savings. I am only able to put a couple hundred bucks a month into my savings right now. With the cost of everything rising, I have found it really hard to save.

If you're putting the 7% into a high yield savings account that's pretty good. Having twice that in investments also sounds good. Obviously, raising those numbers would be better, but the ratio makes sense. A high yield savings account will double as your emergency fund.

25% invest-20% house-5% savings-50% for everything else

No kids yet...
