Not she lucky, but her bf silly

Those who voted a 100%, you guys must be kidding me.. but i guess it's kinda dumb to vote for 100% unless you are able to prove it to all of us here...

Just briefly explain to us how could that possibly happen. Thank you!

Is the internet.

My guess is their passive income is equal to or more than their salary ?

Normally 30% savings. If got some extra, can up to 40-50%

Why not..? A LOT of people have investment income such as rental, dividends, interest from PASSIVE income. If these PASSIVE income is enough for daily expenses, you can even save >100% of your SALARY.

Example rental income is around 2.5k-3k/month from a condo in klang valley, if you are frugal, who says you cannot save all your salary? 2.5k-3k is enough for daily expenses if you have no loans to pay up.

If you have no PASSIVE income but resorting to exhausting your primary salary, then perhaps you might want to consider to build your PASSIVE income portfolio...

Pity her bf...

Just only 10% because of a lot of expenses.In Finland i seen many people who also having difficulties about saving money some are asking accountant for financial management at http://www.tilikanava.com/ some are just controlling their self.Congratulation to those people who save 50% i wanna be like you.Thumbs up.

Less than 5% for me

before can save from passive income when i m still working but now become self freelancer hardly

Can save 30-40% consider very good lor. less than 10% for me.

From all the above. 10-20% is average saving.

For me i save 20% which equal to RM 1000.

But RM 1000 is not much but better than nothing. Every month there will be unexpected expenses ( Air con rosak, yearly Car Insurance, change water filter, car maintenance, kids wanna buy this buy that etc. plumbing problem)

On the other hand, Investment took a long time for returns. so i dont invest.

Anyone had similar experience. My point is seems so hard to save nowadays thou you want to save. please give rationale comments .

Year 2013, i manage to save 50% per mth average.
Year 2014, i plan to save at least 60% or at least maintain at 50%
% is based on gross income.. did not include other investment...

err, if don't invest then how to earn passive income in order to complement your monthly salary which enable you to save more?
unless you are doing business or do part time jobs, i can't think of other alternatives besides "investment"...

U hardly spend...
Must balance, otherwise life is meaningless

i did spent especially on food and entertainment...
But this year i plan to control more on food and drinks... advise from doc
big contributor of such high % of saving is due to i'm debt-less at this moment.
Car and study loan had been fully paid..
planning to get a hse in near future, by then there will be a big drop on my saving..

i'm bad in investment LOL still learning

around 30-40%

Do you save money from your net salary (after deducting EPF, income tax) each month? If yes, how much do you save?
from 2010 to now: 42%+ to 46%+,
except for 2013 due preparation & birth of child.
This year, expect 45%+ saved from net salary +net bonus (fingers crossed & goals set).
Excludes investment & trading returns which are re-invested.

Are you satisfy with the amount you save?
Nope - can do better by cutting down mercilessly on things on low priority to me.
Aiming for 50% - balance of spending & saving

If not, how much you would like to save?
50% as balance.

And are you still single or married? Are you still staying at your parents house or independent?
Married, independent, with children (more than 1)

Those family & working stiff men here who manages to save >50% pls share how U do it
