I agree to save 50% of your income. Anything more, will probably downgrade our lifestyle quality BUT
if someone plans to retire early, saving >50% is required. How much we earn monthly is a huge factor as well, earn more + save more = win thumbup.gif

from what I can see in generation X in their retirement age, RM300k is a lot for them blink.gif
Tell them about inflation and medical costs and they dont even care.. die then die lor like that  rclxub.gif

btw, i save around 25-30% of my monthly income and the amount it's not enough  sad.gif

single
no car loan

monthly expenses:
+insurance
+unifi
+phone installment(thanks god, going to end soon)
+PTPTN
+food & groceries
+ mom & dad allowance

yearly expenses:
car road tax & insurance
car maintenance

In my case saving 50% of income is a bit crazy considering i already lost almost 30% to tax and epf combined. I know the epf money is mine but then again it does not contribute in paying up my monthly commitnent (except for housing loan).

To save 50% of net should not be a problem though.

yes, i guess, i was replying to the comments before that saying 50% of income(i assume gross income). Yes, I do know the percentage will increase as you earn more, that is why percentage doesn't work anymore here if we compare to gross, if my income increase another 10% , the total deduction will be almost 32% instead of 30%. Just an example. If 50% of net, definitely OK.
