How much do you SAVE out of every paycheck?

I save/invest 25% of my gross pay. I know not everyone can save this much, but hopefully you’re all saving/investing at least 10% of your net.

Basically all of it.

My pay check is a fairly small proportion of my total income.

I end up "saving" none of it. Auto deductions hit and I put whatever else is over X amount in my savings into investments automatically.

Last year I aimed for $1k/paycheck, and exceeded that. You figure 26 paychecks, think I accumulated over $33k, but less than $37k. Gambled it all away though because I'm a freaking idiot playing with stock options pretending I'm striking gold with every play despite failure. Learned my lesson.

Last year at this time I was making $73k-75k base pay. Now my base pay is closer to $84k. A lot of my bonuses and stuff have already taken place for 2022, but due to increased costs from inflation, and some of my own stupid expenses, I think $26k-30k is more realistic this time.
