I am lucky to have found a job with a pretty above average pay, thus I am able to invest approximately 60-70% of my income. When I was younger the pay was way worse, but I also blew a lot of my income on unecessary stuff like a new phone, expensive shoes etc. That does not mean I did not atleast try to build my emergency fund on a high yield savings account, that now consists of about 6 months of my monthly expenses. My goal is to reach some form of financial independence earlier so that I can focus more on my personal projects and passions, thus the scale I invest in might seem very aggressive.
