How much do you save from 10%????
964485
multiply .10 by the total amount you want to save then when you calucate it out, that should be your saving amount. Ex. I want a $100 leather jacket and there is a sale for 10% off multiply $100 * .10 which is $10 so you would save $10.

10% is a common goal.  If that seems impossible, start with what you feel comfortable with giving.  Then try to gradually increase it.

Paul J is right. 25% is the way to go, and remember to put that 25% into your piggy bank as the FIRST THING you do with your money, when you get it.\n\nIn addition to that, I never spend my change. When I buy something, I only use bills to pay with, and just put the change in my pocket. At the end of the day, when I get home, I take all that spare change and throw it in a box. Next day, when I have to buy something, I only use bills to pay... etc. In no time, you'll find that all that spare change adds up to some real money. In an emergency, you can take it to the bank and cash it in for paper.\n\nI'm so proud of you for starting to think about saving, at your age. I didn't start saving until I was almost 40. Worse than that, I was in debt up to my ears, because of credit cards! It took me forever to get out from under that crushing load of debt, but I've learned my lesson. Never again!! If I can't pay for something with the cash in my pocket, I do without. And I NEVER touch my savings, except to count it and rub my hands together in glee.

I heard if you put 1 mil in a savings account, you get a much higher interest rate, like 10%.  So I would put it in the bank and live off the interest.

Well... using very simple math, that translates into about $125 pre-tax for every 1% of interest on the account. So, if you have a savings account with about 5% interest, you'd be looking at about $625 a month pre-tax income. Honestly? if you have that kind of money, there are plenty of safe investments to choose from that will give you a better return.

I'd would shoot for 10%.  The more the better but I think 10-20% is average.

It's about average for average credit. Origination can go from 0% to 10%, depending on credit.

You do not give much detail so it is hard to answer your question with 100 accuracy. I will give you the numbers I am using so you will have a better understanding. \n\nFirst... does 1/2 pt make a difference.  Yes.\nHow much.... useing 100k as a number and 6.0 and 6.5 so you see the difference in .5     599.55 for 6.0  632.07 for 6.5 ... Now STOP I know what you are thinking.. oh thats only 32 dollars. But we are not done. Over the life of a 30 year note or 360 months that will save you......11700.20 .. Yes I said eleven thousand seven hundred dollars and twenty cents. But dont run our yet. There is still more. That 11k is nothing if you play your cards right. Are you ready for some real money???\n\nTry it this way.... Add 100 extra to your monthly payment. By the way... your interest per day is about 17dollars at the begining of this loan so only 90dollars is going to the principal. Adding that extra 100 even to the first month will take you from month one to month three. \n\nTo put it simply.... after your first payment (using 100k @ 6.5 since you didnt give me the real numbers to use) you will have paid an extra months principal plus part of a day. Now instead of charging you interest on that 100 dollars you save that 63 cents. I know that doesnt seem like much.. BUT you have to remember this is over the life of the loan. So you save 63 cents the second month... thru the 360th. That would be 226.80 savings just for 100 dollars. Do it twice in a row ie first and second month and you will save 452.97 three times 678.51.. thats more than the monthly payment and it only cost you 300 dollars. \n\nI wont go into ALL the math but you get the idea. If you do this right.. ie 100 a month extra. You will cut several... are you sitting down?  YEARS off your loan. \n\nSo do not waste your time doing a refi. I mean if it drops a few points sure, but if it is less than 3 points Im not moving.

For checking accounts, typically nothing or next to nothing.  For savings account, anywhere from 1% to 3%, depending on the amount of money in the account.  You probably need at least 100k to get the full benefits of high interest.  The smaller banks have to give higher rates to attract customers from the bigger banks.

Put money aside, 10% of your gross income. The word "fast" has more than one signification. I suggest to spend the least possible, as in "to fast."

It all depends on the amount of bills you have and what you make.\nI have to spend more like 75% towards bills, then 10% for groceries, 10% for necessities & fun, and 5% to savings.  Would like to put more into savings and the "fun", but house & gas bills have to get paid first :-(

What kind of savings account gives you 10% interest? And anyway, why would you only want to save $200? Very mind-boggling. Why would you want to know the answer? Is this your homework?\nAnyway, just for the heck of answering:\nUse a financial calculator. \nKey in 200, followed by pmt. (Payment)\nKey in 10, followed by n. (No. of years)\nKey in 10, followed by i. (Interest)\nCompute the value. \n\nThe value that you get is how much you will have in your bank at the end of 10 years. That figure is your PV for the following calculations:\n\nTake calculator, key in figure followed by PV.\nKey in 10, followed by n.\nKey in 10, followed by i.\nCompute FV.\n\nTah dah! The answer you want!

I think the average is usually 15% but many give 20% or \nmore. It's definitely on the increase. 10% was the old standard a decade or more ago.
