I’m a recent college grad and I’ve been working a $13/hr research job since May. I know it isn’t a well paying job, but it’s great experience for grad school apps, and I’ve been really disciplined with saving. On paydays I don’t pay rent I typically put $600 into savings and have roughly $220 for living for the next two weeks. Since I’ve started I’ve saved roughly $2700.
However, I often find that $220 isn’t always enough for myself between gas, food, other bills and trying to enjoy myself once in a while. I usually transfer money out of savings before my next paycheck because of this. So I guess my question is, does this seem to be a sustainable way of saving or am I putting too high of a percentage of my income into savings? Any advice is welcomed! My parents are incredibly bad savers and I want to know that what I’ve learned is too much or not enough!
