Hello everyone. I'm 24, single, currently live in MS and I'm wondering about the amount I should aim to save every month, on $2500 a month after taxes and family expenses. A rough breakdown of my monthly expenses are as follows;
$700 for rent and utilites
$300 for my car loan
$300 for gas and monthly auto maintenance
$250 for food (mostly groceries and the very occasional eating out/delivery)
$400 for various insurances (health, life, car)
$365 - credit card and student debts
$80 for internet and cell phone
My actual salary is about $4000 after taxes but $1500 of that goes to assisting my mom and isn't up for budgeting. So I have like $105 left in the bank and this is very easily consumed by any unforeseen expense, like fixing the house or buying clothes. How much should I aim to save out of the $2500, and how do you propose I do it? Thank you!
