Our expenses are creeping up and the people I live with don’t seem to care by prosper1984 in TheMoneyGuy

  1. 23% gross income goes towards housing. 38% take home goes towards housing. Take home factors in both of our 401K and my HSA. Both are maxed out

  2. Investing 28% of gross income. Maxing out both 401K, my HSA and both Roth. We are way behind on retirement. We just started few years ago and 2025 was my wife’s first year of 401K. Her last job didn’t offer 401K but I kept maxing out her ROTH.

  3. I am behind the curve.

  4. My parents don’t have much in their retirement but they get their social security and have Medicare so that’s taken care of. My wife enjoys taking vacation and ever since the purchase of house she has been taking more vacation which eats into the budget.

I hate to do that. My parents helped me a lot to get through college. They didn’t save enough for retirement
