POLL: How much money do you save every month?

[beach2nd]

I'm just wondering what the average amount of money a person saves every month is after they pay their bills. So, about how much money do you save every month?

 

[n0cmonkey]

Not enough. I try to put $400/month away, but it never works out.

 

[BatmanNate]

Between $800-$1000.

considering my monthly income during school is about $350 dollars and i have $150 worth of expenses/bills per month + $50 to have fun, about $150 saved.

Not nearly as much as I'd like because my roommate is a fvcking broke ass that gets fired from a job every three months and when I ask him for my money all he says is "soon".

Damn. He gets fired more often than I do. :Q

A poll would be more insightful.

It's sad, dude is 24 years old and can't hold a job, and it's not like they're difficult jobs either.

ETA: Although I will give him credit, because the one he's had now he's had for about 3 months now, still no money for me though.

when i worked over the summer i managed to save just about everything i made(worked out of town all expenses paid). Now that I'm at school i manage to save around 100 a month

 

[Tremulant]

The past 3 months, not much. From the beginning of the year to the end of july though, I saved up enough to pay back a loan and feel comfortable enough that I could buy the parts to buiild myself a new PC. But the past few months my bank account has stayed at pretty much the same place after paying bills/etc., which is enough to keep me afloat for 3-4 months should I happen to lose my job. I see my funds depleting soon though, due to the new semester coming around. Buying books sucks.

whatever's left after being thrifty

 

[Orsorum]

$87.50 a week into my Roth IRA, $25 a week into an EE series savings bond, $25 a week into an I series savings bond, plus $60 a week into my savings to cover taxes and some miscellaneous bills.

 

[KarenMarie]

Whatever VeggieFrog doesnt spend, I do!

I save nothing. I pay all the household bills for myself and my b/f as well as the food and whatever we want to buy. He pays the property tax, and any emergency purchases.

 

[Drekce]

~ $950 to 401K
$500 savings account
$200 Mutual Fund

[Ameesh]

No wonder the girls love you....

 

[dakels]

if it weren't for AT hot deals I would have lots of money, instead I have lots of stuff I dont use!

 

[amdskip]

Right now I make like $125/month working 5 hours a week. I'm a full time student though and that covers my living expenses easily unless I hit up hot deals and then I dip into savings. Pretty much not saving anything right now.

up...
