    I will paraphrase my father: “it doesn’t matter how much money you are making if you are spending most of it. If you want to build wealth, you need to look at how much you can set aside every month”.

    what would you expect the percentage to be?

    A lot less. When I was single and sharing an apartment, I’d pay 600€ on a ~4000€ netto salary. 10 years, a marriage and two kids later, our place is about 1400€ even when our combined income was 3.5x as much.

    You missed the last paragraph, didn’t you?

    I don’t know about you, but I don’t think we should accept to be working for less or to accept a lower standard of living just because so many people have it worse.

    As long as your work is:

    • honest
    • ethical
    • providing real value to whoever is paying for it
    • not pushing externalities for others

    Then “what is normal” should have no bearing in this.
