Because Social Security won't be available when I retire, I put away $15 per week into my 401K account. Each time I get a raise, I put a little more into it.
My husband puts about $35.00 into his retirement program per week. At least this way, we won't have to work until we're 80. |

Depending on what you make, but 25% is an ideal amount o save. But for me i make about 300 a week and i try to put 100 in ma savings every week. dot's because i don't have lots of bills to pay |

Ten percent of my paycheck goes to my 401k, but that's not enough. |

20% of my pay I save for a trip I'm going on soon and another 15% goes to Wildlife Foundations, the rest goes to bills and food. Then again I don't get paid much but meh its all I have to work with. |

My wife and I save whatever is leftover after expenses. So that varies from month to month depending on our expenses. However, we keep a tight lid on our spending and adhere to a pretty strict budget now that we own a house and want to have kids. So, based on the numbers, we save about 20% of our pay a month.
*EDIT
Forgot to mention why we are saving! We're saving for paying off our mortgage faster and saving for kid expenses and for a second property (rental income!). |

30% for retirement purposes; whatever is left is saved for trips, new furniture, appliances, etc. |

10% before tax into 401K
10% of wife's salary into company stock.
I then put about 12-15% of my after tax away for stuff like vacation Christmas, insurance, stuff like that.
Beyond that, about another 25-30% after tax gets invested.
We try to live as far below our means as possible. Want to retire! |

I invest all that's left after i pay for my absolute necessities. I invest vs. save b/c saving takes too long and it's not safe. |
