Default Re: What % of your Income do you save?

I; likewise, have never given a whole lot of thought to percentages but total dollar value. That said:

10% is saved for my tithe to my local church. No matter what.

10% goes to company stock (We get the stock at the lowest point in the last six months plus 15% off of that price)

5% to 401(k) until they end matching

Roughtly 30% to Roth IRA and other equity purchases

Then 10% into my ING accounts.

The rest just goes into my checking account for spending money--but I really just use it for a slush fund.

Those numbers are off of gross.
