Hmmm, I have a Thrift Savings Plan through the Army that comes right out my pay Check and put a little aside in a separate savings each month.

Can we just cut to the chase and start a thread for everyone to post a P&L and balance sheet for every quarter of the past 10 years?

I save about 40% of my income. Before I had a mortgage I was saving ~80%. I could save more but I pay more on my mortgage every month

Average American family saves like $100 per month. And many spend more than they bring in. You're an idiot if you honestly thought that the average American savings was $12k/year in a place where half of all households make less than $52k/year before taxes and all other expenditures.


Some of us have 3 luxury car payments to take care of, so please back off.

You should cut back slightly on your savings just to invest in some bulletproof car windows. Just a thought.

I save 13% of my salary to my 401k and then save on top of that for emergencies and car repairs and the like. Probably about $500/mo for the latter unless I have a car bill or something.

You sound like someone who would host a party and ask guests to bring food and drinks to enjoy while they sit on lawn chairs in your living room.


Only if they bring their own chairs

Just got done paying off all debt, but if we stay on the same track as before we will save approximately 30k this year. That is with a mortgage, no kids. Under 30.

We are both super tight with our money though.

Max out the HSA and Roth IRA and the 6% company match of the Roth 401k. In a month where we don't have any major expenses, we save a couple thousand in cash at least. I honestly don't track it closely enough.

The average American family probably doesn't have $1000 in savings, period!
