How much money do you save per month NT?

1200 per pay period.


Still gotta pay regular bills. And contribute to my 401 roth/457 about 17%

So OT becomes mandatory at that point , forces me to save. Trying to save for that first investment property.
 
started earlier this year but fell off track. new goal is to save 200 a month at the least and extra when I can
 
I haven't saved in a year aside from 10% auto from paycheck I put aside past 8 years. Quit that job in April though. All profits reinvested in my company which I own outright. I stay broke on paper except $75k emergency fund and retirement savings. I don't trust having more than $10k in the bank. They won't let you take out more than $10k cash without questioning you any way so it's pointless. Just stay with cash. Was just offered $1M for my company and declined :smile:
 
I go zero savings. Moving countries twice within two years can leave a hole in the pocket smh

The thing is, I will be unemployed during my last semester of grad school because it's intensive and 5 days a week. So the issue is, should I take out a loan just to cover that last semester and use my savings to cover my expenses? I'm still trying to figure that out.

What are you studying?

That's a good chunk. What do you do for work?
 
Depends on how I'm looking at things. Since I'm maxing it out I try and forget it in most cases. Just accept that it's a part of my life and something I will do forever at every job going forward.

I don't say I'm saving 1,500$ a month cause I'm maxing out my 401k. It feels somewhat disingenuous.

Why? The topic that OP posted is about the amount u will earn ..from ur savings/investments..401k/Roth whatever u have is a critical factor..

I kno what ur saying..but I'm referencing the topic at hand..having cash sit will not really do much from an earning perspective
 
I get paid every Friday. My checking account is set up to take $150 out every Friday and place it into my savings account, which already takes out a specific amount from my checking every time I swipe my debit card.

I'm thinking about bumping it up to $250 a week if I can afford it. I'm doing this is so that I can hopefully finish my last semester of grad school out of pocket and lessen my student loan debt overall.

Are u trying to finish school as quickly as possible? Would u be able to take a semester or maybe two off to earn and save as much as possible..then take out a small loan? The funds u saved will alleviate the payments on the loan ***Focusing on just school is a great decision for that last semester

I just think it's unfair in my specific case. If I included my 401k contributions in my annual "Save X" targets I would hardly need to save anything cause of the 401k contributions.
 
^props for maxing..if u only did that u would be fine..u do Roth IRA as well??
 
I'm starting my Masters part time in September. $3600USD for one paper. I don't even :frown: I can't even get student loan for it cause I'm not American.

These money issues got me stressed daily

Yeah I'm trying to finish school as soon as ****ing possible lol.

Long story short I'm kind of on a crash course to develop the fundamental skills necessary to succeed in the realm I'm trying to enter.
 
Saving 1k a month after tax.

Roughly 400 pre tax.

Looking to double that next year. Start school in one month, grad school is $....
