What % of your household's income is saved?

[Budgetmom]

What percent of your household's total yearly income is saved in any form? This could be a retirement account, college savings account, regular old savings/money market account, emergency fund, new car fund, or even an envelope at home. Or a combination of some or all of the above. When you total all the money that you save per year for all reasons, what percent of your total income is it? (and are you considering total net or total gross income?)

Well...5%of DH's pre-tax income goes into deferred comp and 3% of both of ours goes to pension (and gets matched). Other than that between EF and other little savings spaces...probably another 3%.

Wow, Melina, Way to go!

Ours is right at 10% of net income.

Melina, I am IMPRESSED!

For us, about 20% of gross -- mostly pre-tax dollars going into 403b and 457b accounts.
