what % of your income do you put into savings?
 

:2 cents: :2 cents:

im suppose to save money? whoops! :Oh crap

youre single right?

I would say 40 to 50% goes into savings in some form or another - I don't put stuff just into an account but diversify my portfolio

I aim for 40% usually go over though.

huh well not nearly enough i know

savings ?

who the hell wants to save money when everyones making hundreds of thousands of dollars each day, anyway its spend spend spend for me.

i'm not very good at saving, except in a few instances. although now i've started saving up for my first house now that the car is out of the way

lol im talking savings, not reinvesting... if i saved 40% id be fucking rich biatch

meaning bonds stocks etc? I dont see that as savings esp when its high risk. But thats just imho...

I save about 80% to 90% of my monthly income - i would have no idea what to spend it on, besides more stupid stuff hehe.

probably not as much as i should

canada they have RRSP's and other various safe stocks that you can invest in - plus I also have other funds I divide my money into eg. college fund for kids

well, lets see, about 7 dollars a month, that'd be 40% of my income

I'm at about 70%. If you keep investing 10% of you're income you'll be rich if your still young, think about it!

Damn that's alot, congrats! I kind of feel the same way. I have a hard time spending my money (like in blowing it away).

I try to do 10%, but I havent been doing that as of late.

But I dont put it into a savings account and let it rot. I usually let it sit in an account until I get enough to buy a 1 oz gold bar or two at apmex.com, then I place the order and have it delivered. When it comes, it goes to my secret hiding place.

I've been in the saving mood for quite a while now. Just closed on my construction loan for the new house today so bye bye money soon

10% and I always try my best not to miss it..

and your sig says sig-whoring doesn't pay... :winkwink:

same here :thumbsup

exactley 0% right now :(

10% in gold.

What do you consider "saving" then? keeping money in a bank account earning 3% interest?

I wondered the same. Currently I'm putting away 10% (well just starting too) and hopefully as my income grows I can put away more.

whats your answer woj? im sure us youngins would like to know
savings%
investment%

0%

..............

Atleast 50% and another 10% into a RRSP

None now...but my old man is on me constantly to do it. He says I blow more money than he used to earn in a year...blah blah.

Ya, I know. I wish I could too. It doesn't matter how much I've ever made, I always seem to blow it all.

about 15%

100% of mine, 0% of my husbands.

I guess 20% of my salary is good enough.

I put it all back into the business... Once I hit about 350K a year I will think about moving it into other directions...

50% but if i can keep the 75% on my savings much better...

When the big money was rolling in I actually played in smart and put the majority away and invested (though some investments lost me several tens of thousands of dollars, so I guess it wasn't so smart.....). Now that I'm focusing on school and some other investing, I'm taking money OUT of that savings. Makes me nervous as hell but at least it's there :)

lol yea :thumbsup

50% goes directly to my savings

:smokin

you sound whipped

you sound like an idiot

What is this savings word?

putting money into savings vs spreading it around in several dif investments.. hrm.. you make the call

savings accts are for going nowhere losers

About 40%

Z

Right now, I would have to say, only about 10%. But I have an investment that is comming up, and that is where the money is headed.
