How much do you save/invest a a month?

Title, and what are you saving for?

For those who have savings/investments but dont save regularly, just take how much you have in savings/investments right now and divide it by how long you've been saving/investing for.

Investing with a long term view of affording a house deposit.

Plus a safety net in the event of unemployment etc.

A large chunk of that comes out from pre-tax salary which saves a fair bit.

We certainly aren't starving, but equally we don't waste money in excess.
Didn't realise you were including your pension in that. Don't check mine too often but I think its around £250 p/m going into mine with extra contributions etc. Determined to have something saved up for when I retire because god only knows what the retirement age/state pension will be like in 2060.
£20 into a pension. other than that, nothing.

I spend most of my wages, so in excess of £1000 a month.
Nowt. Have a rubbish job, no ties whatsoever, might as well enjoy what there is to enjoy.

If I'm a misery guts at 70 with no pension I'll come to it then.

Lol you're gonna start saving when you're retired?

40% of my salary is saved. Once I have a large enough amount, I'll be investing it (most probably in real estate).
