What % of your income do you save?

Somewhere between 30 and 45% probably, but I live with my parents who get about another 17% as rent. That saving total covers money that is left at the end of a normal month, I guess, so some of the that money would go towards annual expenditure on holidays and car maintenance.

I save about 35%, that's about £400 for me. That's not all what I would call "proper" savings though, as some of that will be used to pay for annual things like car tax / insurance and Christmas.

You'll get a skewed sample from here - the average person saves something like 6% at the moment, and is used to be less!!

Anyway, at the moment I earn around £2400 after tax, and in the average month over the last year have "saved" just over £1000 - actually slightly less as that includes saving and investment income.

I shall boast a little and say that I save 70-75% each month. Although we have had 2 holidays this year which I paid mainly for, so Im not doing as well as I should be.
I come out with 1450, have 200pcm bills & living I buy whatever I want, but I dont really ever want much! I am tihnking of treating myself though and buying a 2nd hand vehicle though but wont spend more than 3k,.

I aim to save 1k a month, not including other additions like money I get from ebay/mystery shopping etc.

I have not been quite as tight on the purse strings as I used to be and I regret that a bit. Trying to turn over a new leaf part way through the year.
