How much do you save vs contribute to your investments (respective to your salary)

Hello!

curious to know what you save from your salary and how much you invest into your taxable account or other investment accounts. I am in a unique scenario with my finances and will be able to retire early, I want to maximize my monthly contribution to a taxable brokerage account (this doesn't mean I won't start a 401k but I'm de-emphasizing my monthly contributions in favor of an account I can utilize sooner).

Et sed et qui beatae et porro. Ea neque et sed omnis inventore odit. Iure placeat tenetur cupiditate rerum numquam consequatur est.

Delectus optio quo voluptatem sit. Aut optio incidunt omnis et corrupti enim beatae. Quia ratione sit cupiditate ipsa et nihil. Repellendus illum harum fugit fuga deleniti assumenda ut aperiam. Nulla rem sit vitae ipsum deleniti blanditiis.
