Budgeting

Hi All,

Curious if you have tips on budgeting / financial planning? I read articles for millennials and most of them assume you make a lot less than what many of us fortunately do in finance. I also come from an immigrant family and earn more than my family did at my age. I fortunately paid off all my debt and have a good amount of savings. But I don’t know about what good benchmarks are at each age and what I should be shooting to save each year, etc. thanks in advance.
