I personally think that it is better to calculate or plan your monthly expenses by the percentage of your net income.
My example:
Age <30
Married, one kid
Used 2nd hand car, stay together in parents house.

10%- give to parents
15%- petrol and food (lunch during working day)
10%- Insurance
25%- Expenses (mobile, dinner, for wife and kid...)
20%- Invest in Unit trust
10%- Saving account (save for emergency fund)
10%- Others (PTPTN, misc. expenses... )

Generally have no entertainment.

1 own stay, another rented out.

bank loan 7500??
the total only take 3 times my monthly salary

Mine would be in HKD if anyone is interested

Yes please share.

Late 30s, wife early 30 and a daughter

Fixed expenditure:
Phone and internet: HKD400
Insurance: MYR 900 and HKD 2000
School Fee: HKD7500
Utilties: HKD1500
Rent: 20000

Variable:
Daily necessities: HKD10000
Pocket money that includes transportation: HKD5000x 2.

I also have about monthly 5000MYR commitment in Malaysia as well.

Total just for HKD is about 52000HKD

House loan 3k
Grocery 1k
Car loan 1.5k
Utilities 600
Transport 500
Insurance 1k
Parents 2k

couple, mid 30.

Your working exec or having your own business in HK? What's the average working adult down there? HKD 52,000 seems to be pretty high no?

That's a very comfortable living in Malaysia, even in HK that is pretty comfy expenditure lifestyle.

Mind sharing how much % you put into savings?

Should be two very nice houses

I am at management level. My wife do work as well. As for average, I am not too sure, I think its HKD40K/month

Actually with the rent I am paying I can get a very comfortable apartment in MT Kiara but not in HK. Just about average size. Also n ot having a car really save a lot.

On average I save 50% of our salary.

I think fresh grad in HK about HKD10k, around 5k+- MYR. HKD40k maybe after 20-30 years for average ppl.

And yea, very easy to travel around without car so that's a good saver

Fresh graduate on average is HKD15K now. Yea you are right for HKD40K - thats the average salary for mid income family.
