Many financial advisors say that you should save at least 30 percent of your income. But my aim is 50 percent, as long as the rest can sustain me. What percentage do you think should be saved?
Saving 50% might be a bit unrealistic over time. The most logical amount is 10% or thereabouts. You can do 30% if you don't foot a lot of bills or more especially if you want to save for a project.

We should consider the realistic part of it. If saving is too difficult for us, we can always start with small amount. Say 5% and eventually increase it to 10%. You will be amazed at how you will come up with strategy how you can save month over month.

We should save at least 30-40% of our salary for the future. I know it's not easy to do that but one should try at least to do it as it helps in future.

In this pandemic prices soar high it's hard to save even 5 per cent. But we need to save 10 % of our income.

Yes, @cherry123 I do agree with you. Of course, it isn't always possible to save up exactly 50% of your earnings because obviously sometimes there are many miscellaneous costs that come up.
When you have a family and your kids are studying then it's not possible to save that much but she. You are alone you can save up to 80% of your salary àlso.

I agree with you @Sanjee. When you have to support the people dependent on you financially, then saving anything at all can be very difficult. All the best to you!
