Someone else's question about how much of their weekly paycheck their 15 year old grandson should save. This made me begin to wonder how much I should be saving. Currently I make roughly $275/week. I'm a 20 year old college student with 2.5 years left to go in school. I share an apartment with my fiance, so all bills (rent and utilities and groceries) are split in half. I have no car payment. I've been saving $10 a week... but I realize that's close to maybe 3.5%... What percentage should I be saving of my paycheck?
