Yea I hear ya. My Savings has been at a stand still, because, soon as I get an extra $300 in there, something big comes up. Things are lookin up though, I don't want to sell the car or ditch voice lessons just yet.



I'm just used to seeing it grow quicker than not at all :P

 

I put away 10% every month.

I have been doing this since I first enlisted into the Army 13 years ago.

money in about 3K per year...thats all before interest or growth of mutual funds.

It should help with what I want to start in 7 years.

 

I need enough money to buy a sailboat and a minimal amount of spending cash, then that's the last you'll see of me.

 

I never catch a break cuz i'm always broke..

 

well I have around 5k in my bank but I'm trying to fix my car. It doesnt help that I live in hawaii damn shipping. Also there are like two people on this island that works on rotary. I going to dl one of those make money things and see if what they say is true.

 

I'm a tight ***, if I don't need to spend it I don't. Never any CC debt, never a car loan (never bought a car that cost over 5k), always pay bills on time. The only debt is my home loan and plan on paying it off by the time I'm 35 (If I still live in this house at that time). I contribute the max my company will match to my 401k (up to 5% of pay at 50% match). After I pay all my bills I end up with ~30% of my paycheck still in the bank. I'd say I save ~20% per month all said and done.



I'm trying to figure out how the dude that lives in a payed for home still has no $??
