How much money from each paycheck should i save in general? What percent should be saved for just saving?

The general rule of thumb should be 10% of your earnings.

Assuming that you make enough to cover your necessities with ease, a good 20% would provide much security. If you can stick with it month to month, it will bode into a "rainy day" fund in which you can use for emergencies, medicine, or something big and fun for yourself.

If you do not make enough to easily cover necessities, try and cut back on what you do everyday. After that has been done, try and save about 40-60% of the money that does not have any purpose and save it. This will help get out of a slump within a few months, and there won't be much of a finance issue. Make sure to cut back to only the necessities and some luxuries.

Other than those general tips, this comes down to a few factors:

1) Income
2) Living space
3) Utilities/food/general living expenses
4) Necessities
5) Medical expenses
6) Luxuries

As long as you can cut down on these and save 20% (moderate income) a month, or 40-60% (lesser income) of the miscellaneous money a month, then you should be on your way. In general, save at least 10% (no matter what, unless it is a life-and-death situation) each month.

10% is the generally agreed upon minimum as taught in finance courses in business schools.

10%


intelligentbooklady
they always say 10% ...however, that is a good start...you should try to do more....every month put away your 10% and see what else you can save, too. once you start saving it is easier....just get in the habit....

There is really no magic number. You should determine what your disposable income is and try to put aside as much of that as possible. Here is the best rule of thumb.

Take the amount of your monthly take home pay subtract all your expenses that are absolutely necessary (rent, mortgage, food, utilities, car payment, credit payments, etc.). The amount remaining is what you have left available to save. Save either that entire amount or less than that each month.

The key is to insure that you pay yourself before anything else. Put the amount you decide to save away before you decide to pay any bills or you will find yourself finding reasons to spend that money.
