I always do my best to save in hopes of someday owning property(s). It's not easy. Something happens with car, medical expenses, washing machine ***s the bed, 4 weddings in 2 months, etc. Just thought this article could give some insight, since a lot of us have a habit of buying shoes, clothes, video games, going out to the club, or whatever your crutch might me.

Set up my bank account to transfer a preset amount from checking account to savings account whenever i get paid.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Im at about 500/ month straight to savings.

And my bank also has his thing where anytime I swipe, one buck goes to my savings. It adds up.

 

[getback]

Yeah I try to save anywhere between 300-500/month.

I don't have a set goal..

 

[King of Trash Style]

400 each month. Been looking into Acorns for investment.

 

[mrtarheel]

put a dollar away for every hour I work, so 40 dollars a week or 160 a month. Then also a set amount comes out of my pay check every two weeks and goes straight to savings.

Speaking of savings any one here use Ally for the "higher" interest rate?

In regards to "forced savings" I max out my 401k and IRA every year.

Discretionary savings it varies but I take a portion of my compensation every month and save/invest it.

Rainy day is real.

Been saving for years, rainy day came and im still sitting good. I could handle a couple more rainy days and still be good (hopefully not tho)

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I need to create a set goal..

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Two retirement plans and no real savings.

I’m putting away around $700/Mo until I get a solid cushion for a rainy day.

My bank is offering 1.20% for a limited time. Once that stops moving all the cash to GS Bank probably.
