After the recent debt thread, it made me think how much others have saved (especially with GAS!!).
How much have you saved, and what is the percentage of your yearly income. Oh, and don't lie. (I almost lied about my savings).
$543.00. I'm a full-time college student, I have a part-time job that pays well...I just have a problem with GAS.
It's a measly 1.4% of my yearly salary.
EDIT: HAHA! (math error).

It's a measly .014% of my yearly salary. | So you are saying that you make $387,857,142.86 as a college student with a part time job? |

| According to my math you make nearly 4 million a year on a part time job. I guess your honesty policy went right out the window. 
I hope you aren't a part time accountant. 
Oops Kruton beat me to the punch. |

I put 6% of my gross pay into a 401k and have been since 95 when I started working. The places I have worked have put anywhere from 3% to 6% of my pay as matching. I have not touched it at all.
I have a couple $k in the bank in a regular saving account. We put a hundred or so in off each check. It's not really ther to build it's just our incase soemthing expensive brakes money.

I want another Xbox 360 (sold it to fund my bass), but my band needs a drum kit for our jam space.

Big chunk o' my income gets sent directly to the stock market via my 401k. I should max out on my annual limit soon, hopefully will be responsible with the larger paychecks when they kick in.

Stocks are in the toilet for the moment however.. not too worried as world stock markets will eventually rebound. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
