I had been saving around 40% of gross for quite some time, but found that was a bit too overboard. I've loosened up the pursestrings to save 20% of gross income consistently while increasing my fun money, but (in a reverse LAYM move) find myself sneaking extra dollars into my FIRE fund because "it's just sitting there and I'm not buying anything soon anyway." I snuck in an extra $200 to my FIRE fund last week just for that reason. It's actually kinda humorous. I'd love to be able to save 50% of gross. That's still a target. CK |
