    Just wondering what % of your income actually stays in the bank?

    Those of you who save over 50% a month, are you saving to retire early? Buy something really big? Pay off your mortgage?

    I saved up so much money during the last couple years cause I was hibernating and didn't go out anywhere. Recently it's been crazy, bought my dream car, just came back from vacation and going out cruising and for drinks and food up to 5 times a week. Oh man it went from like 80% to 60% to 40% and now to 20%.
