I started to invest half a year ago. At the start of each month, I invest 20% of my net monthly salary. However, I would like to hear others perspective, and whether you have any advice on this.
Hence, which percentage of your net monthly salary do you allocate for investments?

I’m around 15% right now. I tried more at first, but I realized I prefer something sustainable long term instead of pushing hard one month and stressing the next.
50% of my salary after taxes, but I also have a decent job compared to the COL in my country.
I’m putting in about 50% in to savings (ETF index funds mostly). I make about 7k€/mo in Europe.
30%, of which half goes into leaps
One third
20% but my wife and I both have pensions. Otherwise it would have to be higher
About 8% (something is better than nothing)
Never calculated it explicitly but more than 66%, maybe 70%. I am not restricting myself, I live alone in a 50m2 apartment, I cook well and I have cheap hobbies so that brings my savings rate high.
I earn 2.2k Euro net per month and invest 300 into ETF, 50 crypto and about 200 in stocks – i live in europe
50-70%. I was able to lower my cost of living while raising my income at the same time. Being duel income, no kids helps.
70-80%
50% and I retired after 16 years
How do you invest?
First, I pay for the essentials: internet, water, electricity, and groceries.
Then, I set aside 50% as savings.
I split the remaining 50% again 25% goes to an emergency fund.
The remaining 25% becomes my allowance, but since I’m a wise person,
I only spend half of that 25%.
Been averaging ~60% for several years now
10-14%. My salary is lower middle class so it’s hard to invest more because of necessities. I do plan on increasing it and avoiding lifestyle creep as I move up my career ladder.
22% every year
