[quote=Anonymous]There is not a single answer. My husband and I are both GS-14s with the fed. We do very well by our standards, but my husband is a squirrel when it comes to money. He likes to stash it away in our various savings/retirement/investment accounts, and not spend. We'll save up for a vacation, and when I start the planning process he'll point to our checking account and say "With what money???" Even though we have PLENTY of cash in our money market, he just doesn't like to make withdrawals. Even though money is ear marked for certain purchases. Me . . . I am happy saving about 10% of my income for retirement annually, keeping a savings cushion of 4 months for emergencies, and then I think we should live a little. My husband . . . not so much.
