Many financial advisors say that you should save at least 30 percent of your income. But my aim is 50 percent, as long as the rest can sustain me. What percentage do you think should be saved?

The required percentage is 10 % of your total gross and try to multiply it by the number of years you want to become a millionaire. Apply the Rule of 72 by Albert Einstein when money doubles.

We need to see what suits us and what are our requirements and we should then evaluate the percentage of savings we need to have a secured future

Actually I attended a seminar workshop hosted by the World Financial Group,that was during the non - pandemic. There's a certain amount you have to save for example in a trust fund and then your money double every 6 years. The younger you start to save, the bigger your savings would become.

There were months when I planned to save a minimum of 20% of my total earning from all resources and raised it to 30% and decreased to 10% by looking at my expenses but its not easy to find a percentage that would be enough for us

I agree with you, it also happens to me, instead of increasing my savings decreasing. I'm sometimes extravagant. I like to dine in my favourite Goldilocks sometimes in Choking. I have to pay myself first. It's tiresome to work so I have to threat myself better foods.

As for me, it depends on my earnings. Because I can't say 30%. Because if I earn $100 and I save 30% does that mean that I will also save 30% for $10,000?
