It will end up being the same amount of money either way. Generally people make the deposits when they get paid. If you make 800/week you should save $80/week. If you are paid every 2 weeks you should save $160 or a little over $320 if you are paid monthly.

The 10% rule is the guideline for retirement if you are starting your savings young. If you get a 401K match, you definitely need to contribute to get that. Life-cycle and index mutual funds are good choices for beginning investors.

After getting your 401K match it depends on your financial situation, what the best use of the money is. You should have an emergency fund of 3 months or more of living expenses. After that is taken care of you might want to save for a down payment for a house. Even if your goal is a house down payment, you might look into using a ROTH IRA to store those funds.

Really? 10%? Who says so? And what does the time frame have to do with anything? 10% of a week's pay put aside every week still ends up being 10% of a month's pay at the end of a month and eventually 10% of a year's pay at the end of a year, so what's the difference? I guess I do not understand what it is that you are asking...

Just yesterday, I was reading an article by an expert suggesting 25%-30% of one's earnings into savings / investments in Indian conditions!

Anyway, whether it is 10% or 30% in your savings, it is a percentage of your earnings - that should match with your weekly, monthly or yearly income. It all depends on your financial planning, some huge expenses at any given point in a year, contingencies etc. The overall annual ratio of the percentage to be maintained.

What's the difference?

If you make $52,000 annually, that's $1000 a week and you'll put in $100 per week or $5200 each year.

If you make $52,000 annually that's $4333 a month and you'll put in $433 a month or $5200 each year.

10% or your total income.

You should save more than 10% if you can, projections for a 25 year old that wants to retire at 55 and travel the world full time = 25%, I'm saving almost 30% to try and retire by 50, hopefully earlier.

If you just want to soak up the sun and work in your garden, 10% if ok.

It is 10%. You can put it in weekly or monthly but it should still be the same amount in the long run.

Makes no difference, you can do it yearly if you want. Whatever works for you, if you want to make sure you don't spend it do it everytime you get paid.

What difference does it make? It is the same amount. If it is easier to discipline yourself to do it weekly, then you are much better off. If you have bills due on the first of the month and it would be easier to put 10% of your total monthly income away on the 15th, then do it then. 10% is 10% no matter when you do it.

God Bless to you too!

Being taught that the 10% goes to the church. Who holds the savings? In my poverty, there was not enough left to save , maybe that is why. At the end of my days I found words in my savings account instead of money.

You're supposed to save 10% of your annual salary. So if you make $50,000 a year, 10% of that is $5,000. So if you save monthly it's $416.66 a month.
