Does one, or Should one?
Also there's rainy day savings and retirement savings.
One should try to save 5-10% for retirement. If the government in your country allows for tax sheltered instruments. (401K, 403B, SEP, Roth...) For some of these, your employer may have a matching program, which will increase contributions even more. As of right now, these are good places to put your money.Check back again after November 4, fo an update.
Try to save an additional 5% for those "rainy days"

$150 a month in my savings account and then I put 8% of my check into my 401K... that usually comes out to like $200 a month. |

I earn 1300 dollars a month, pay for rent, food, all bills, books for school, still save
200.
Apparently, FOOD is what i most spend money on. |

About $500 maybe more to go towards bills while I'm on maternity leave next year. Will probably try to save approximately the same amount of money once I start back to work as well, though it will be harder with daycare costs. |

I always put the max into my 401K, then try to put another 10% in long term savings, then I always have something near-term I am saving for, like a vacation or something. |

About $500 or 13% of combined (husband and wife) monthly net income. This does not include the 15% of gross income that we put toward 401k and SEP-IRA accounts.
We're not wealthy. My husband makes about $60,000 per year, and my business nets about $18,000 per year. But we appreciate that this is a good income. |

Ten percent of my earnings go directly to a 401K (which is matched with 4%). I'll be paying off my house soon, so I'll be increasing my savings, soon. Probably max out IRA contribution to counteract the tax base from not having mortgage interest to deduct.
My husband saves also, but I forget how much. (He's retired)
I should have been saving a lot more a lot sooner. But I didn't and now I'm trying to work toward an early retirement. |

things have gotten more expensive for sure
especially when the gas is so high and terrorists love it that we are having a hard time paying our bills but they make billions on the sale of gasoline...
watch out America, it will get worst..

Well both my husband and I transfer £25 a week each into our savings account. So that £200 a month, but we are saving as two of our children are getting married next year. |

£75 per month goes straight in my building society account. £10 per month goes into a joint account with my 2 sisters - we're each saving this amount in anticipation of mum and dad's Golden Wedding anniversary in about 4 years time (and if something happens to M &D in the meantime, we'll have a nice little nestegg for ourselves!). |

I always save some, weekly, and it varies. When I'm being determined or working hard to reduce a debt, I spend very frugally and save every last cent. Other weeks I might spend more. I have a main job and a smaller part-time one, and except for unexpected emergencies, save all of that. |

It depends on how much you make and what you can put away. Between my husband and I we save $400.00 a month. |

Between 10 and 25% of your salary should be devoted to savings.
Max out your 401K, if you have corporate matching funds, to take advantage of the free money from your employer. Place the rest in appropriate vehicles, such as CDs, stocks, metals, cash, or whatever suites your needs at this time. Your age and income level really are huge determining factors on how you shoudl be investing your money for future use. |
