How much are you saving?

in money •  7 years ago 

I was going to write a post explaining bonds today, but decided to do something a little less boring instead!

I just read an interesting blog post that mentions in passing that most people don't save 10, 15, or 20% of their income.

How about you? How much are you saving? And I should probably qualify this and say that saving towards something with the intention of spending the money in the short term probably shouldn't count...

Answer the poll below and we'll see what the Steem community is like :)

How much of your total income do you save?

-I spend more than I make.
-Nothing.
-10%
-20%
-30%
-50% or more.

I don't save anything and I'm changing that. I'm looking to save at least 20% of my money.

Getting started is the key! Even if it's just 5% at first, you'll find it easier to raise over time. Good luck!

My wife and I save more than 60% of our income, but we used to spend more than we earned...
