How much do you save? Clicky
The budget post below inspired me. [Poll]
Re: How much do you save? Clicky
GO poll!
andddd I already f'd up your poll... our savings right now are at 50%.
You're either a screw-up or a show-off
buahahahahaha
:P
Totally a screw up.
Um ya, I answered based on just me, didnt factor in DH.
Oh well. You get the picture...
I'm not sure about the percentage, so I just picked one, ha! But, I put 6% of each paycheck into a Fidelity retirement account, and I put $200 from each paycheck into my savings automatically. We put $100 each into a Hartford Life Insurance policy/stock thing. DH has retirement with Arizona State Retirement System but I'm not sure how much goes into it. He also puts I think $100 from each of his paychecks into his savings account (we have separate savings but joint checking, kinda weird I know).
We could and technically do save more each month, but it remains in our checking account because we have a higher interest rate on our checking than savings accounts. We just make sure that we act like we don't have that money.
