How much do you save?

Question

On average, how much money do you save or have saved up?

Answer

We save 30% of both of our check. Currently we have enough to live about 5 years if we both were to lose our jobs.

Answer

Sometimes when I’m really lucky I have like $20 left over after paying bills and other things. Right now I have $7.33 in my savings account and less than $50 in my checking even though I just got paid yesterday 🙃

Answer

We had about 2k saved, then I went on maternity leave earlier than we planned, so now we have no savings and have almost 4K in credit card debt from my leave 😅

Answer

I have around £5000 saved. Doesn’t feel like much as in saving for a house 😐

Answer

Dang.... I feel like a failure. We have about 3k in our own savings, and about 1200 in our sons account, he is 7 months old. Well I feel like I need to re-evaluate my life. 😂

Answer

Right now nothing because we got hit with our lease turn in expense and we got our propane tank filled for winter. But we just got our mortgage credit check so that’s going to pay off our lease turn in and propane so we will be about even. Then I’ve been Christmas shopping for the kids so that’s another debt. Thankfully husband gets a big bonus at the end of this year a percentage of his total yearly income so we will be able to save that. We did have $10,000 saved but we put in a new concrete garage floor.

Answer

We both contribute 5% to our 401k’s every paycheck. My company matched 1% and his matches 3%. I’m not currently working to stay at home with our daughter but have 6% of 9 years salary in my 401k, taxes already paid, and he has 8% of 10 years, taxes half paid. 
We put $200 towards a college fund for our daughter every month, and $200 into short term savings (aka vacation) per month, and about $500 into long term savings (retirement). When I was working we also put 33% of all my paychecks into mutual funds, but that’s pretty much just sitting right now; we contribute to it when we have spare money. We also try to pay more than our mortgage every month so our house is about 75% paid off; it’s a thirty year loan originally but we should pay it off by 12 years (6 years in right now). 
When all is said and done we probably have 130-150k set aside in various banks and funds depending on the stock market, plus the value of our house, although we have no plans to sell anytime soon, so that’s not really accessible

Answer

We only have about 45k saved right now. We just moved so we used a bit for the move, all new furniture for our rooms and some baby stuff. But now that we are settled it'll start going back up. We try to put at least 1-3k in savings a month depending on his work load and bonuses. Sometimes more.

Answer

We save a grand a month. Have about 80k saved.
