What % of your gross income do you save each month?

30-35% here.

HHI $190K, usually save between $35K-$40K annually, so about 20%.

It should be higher, honestly. We buy a lot that we don't need or even particularly want once the thrill of the initial purchase has worn off.

We make 330K and save about 35-40% of gross, but that counts a very large matching on the 401. 25-35% without it.

We are lucky to not have a large mortgage payment since we got into the real estate market before it went crazy.

We make about $210k and save about $5,500/month - most in retirement and 529s.

290k. We do about $34k into 401k, about $3k outside that, so about 30%. Would prefer more.

Wow you guys save a lot.
Our hhi is 290k and we save about 20-25% pretax. I think we can cut down some on traveling and food, but I don't really want to on food since we eat plenty of quality meals at home. We are spending way too much this year on traveling... 15k

We save about half of our net. That is around 30% of gross.

Save 30% if including 401k matches. Most of it is to retirement and 529s.
I also do short term savings to pay for annual expenses like premiums etc., and am not counting that here.

We make around $240k gross each year. We save about 60% (including 401k match). We max out retirement accounts and the rest goes into a brokerage account. No mortgage (although we have a downpayment saved up) or kids yet, so obviously that % will go down once those things happen.

we gross $375, save only $40ish per year due to horrible 401k options (HCE limits). almost all of it is in after tax investment accounts. could really use some direction in how to access other savings vehicles
