Just had a general curiosity on how others here spend their salary, given its substantial compared to others in our age group.

What are you guys’ breakdown (%) on living costs, paying off debt, savings/investments, food and entertainment, vacations, gifts, etc.

I try to save invest 30% of my salary, but can get complicated sometimes.

I invest about 15% (in my personal brokerage account) and another 10-12% in my savings. That’s including 401k and etc.
