What is the percentage of your earning that you try to save each month? I am asking about the salary or earning that you do for living. also if you earn quite good online, how much you save? Or you are like me? you think of earning that percentage and each time end up spending much.

Hello dear friend. As to the arrangement or percentage of the earnings each month, I think that around half or less is usually spent on food and something else that is needed for daily use and another half is saved in the bank till enough is saved and will be later taken out for some other use like paying the pension insurance and such. Also earnings needs to be saved to certain amount before we could do some investment that could help make some more earnings. In total, a well-planned income will make your life a well-planned one. Thanks.

Right now... none... all my salary is used to pay the bills, apartment, credit card, buy groceries, and other things that we need in the apartment... i would so love to save even just a little... but it is simply impossible right now... Maybe when my husband goes back abroad to work... then we might have some money for saving... but for now... i can just make do with what i have... With my internet earning... i only have mylot... and i have yet to get my second payout before i have it transferred to my account...

i always save a third of my salary, and if possible, i try to save more than that. i always keep money stored somewhere for emergency purposes and for days that i get short of my budget. as for my earnings online, i save them all and spend them later for something big. ^__^

Savings - regular saving is good for a rainy day
I think I'm quite sensible these days in my saving habits. I save at least £200 -£300 each month in various accounts. I have 2 fixed deposit accounts in separate banks where I save £50 in each per month and get bonus interest rates on those once a year for regular savings. I also have a instant access online savings account into which I put at least £100 each month, more often I put at least double that amount in each month. Then, when I go on holiday I use funds from there, or when I want to make a big purchase I use funds from there, and it's nice to be able to see the interest mounting up each month too... What I earn online is literally a drop in the ocean compared to my salary for my actual full time job, my online activities I do for fun, the extra pennies are just a nice little bonus:)
