Living expenses are about 1/2 my pay check. In the past I'd have saved the other 1/2 but for 2017 my goal is to get out enjoy myself more! So I'm going down to 1/4 paycheck going to savings

I save 30% of my paycheck.

@D3 omg! Do you live with your parents or something? 70% seems so high! Good for you

Fuck it, I'll contribute too: I max out all retirement accounts (HSA, 401K, and IRA) and then invest the rest up to approximately 40%. I'd like to save more, but I don't make the salary other people in this app say they make.

Trying to save half my paycheck. Unfortunately I'm only half way there. What's yours?

LOL

D3 that's very impressive. Mind divulging where you live and your salary? I live in NYC and make 85k, so
I think it'd be pretty touch for me to save more than the 30% or so I save. I also max out retirement accounts and max our our stock program offering, so taking those into account I might be saving close to 40%

Charlotte NC, $90K. Do not live with parents

👏

well, I guess I'll get on bandwagon. Max 401k, 15% to brokerage account, spend the rest and bank bonus (NYC, renter)
