-stash invest ($70/wk)
-savings from paychecks ($100-300 biweekly, but I frequently have to pull a small portion back out because I was too aggressive).
-4% of pay into IRA (employer adds another 4%)
I almost have a whole 2 week paycheck in my immediate savings account.
Saving is harder with kids -
You can invest small amounts ($5 or so) in various ETFs, stocks, bonds. I'll shamelessly give you a code that gives you (and me) $5 for signing up
Edit: you may have to be in US for it -
iAmNaN68486y9% into 401K, employer adds another 9%
Profit sharing account.
Acorns investment
Fidelity brokerage account, but I practically emptied it to help out my kids. Hoping they'll remember their poor ol' Da in years to come.
About $300.00/month into savings
I have about 1.5 months expenses saved. Need to build to 6 months, but life happens and taking care of fam comes first, so it has stagnated at 1.5 months. -
iAmNaN68486y@steaksauce yeah, plus profit sharing, which is about another 8% to 10% depending on the year. That plus twenty years enlisted in the military, I'm hoping I won't be living on the street in my old age.

iAmNaN68486y@steaksauce yeah, I figure social security is lost money, so I'm really not depending on it.

I usually do, except lately I had a spending spree. Setting up my apartment.
Thin month should be the first one back on normal track, meaning I should be able to save 20-25% of my salary
apart from that I use hi-risk investment funds, which are barely a profit. At least covers inflation.. -
drdre12006yI get 8% of salary to a pension fund.
I spend around 50% of my salary on monthly expenses. The rest I save up. Once per year I invest 1-2 months in shares and bonds. Whatever is left, I spend on travelling. -
Azalea04y@Nanos 2 years ago I had no any saving because I spend my salary in home expenses and other in shopping But I was worried about my savings and I can't leave my shopping activity because I love it! My sincere friend suggest me to shop with using discount and coupon codes then you can able to save money. So I started using coupon codes from EMUCoupon and now I'm able to save money from my salary and I have good savings.
