I kind of want to make one for myself now. Probably the biggest (and simplest) lesson I've learned about managing money is the tried and true saying "PAY YOURSELF FIRST". Of course, it looks like you've taken it a step further with the Savings AND the 401k :) This is great! I kind of want to make one for myself now.

There is no such rule of thumb, although there should always be at least a minimal figure for contribution. The bottom line is that the more you contribute (especially when you are young), the less catching up you have to do later. I contribute automatically to my retirement and raise it by 1 percent each time I get at least a dollar's pay raise. While I would like to raise it one percent each year, I do have to manage my budget to live within my means. Should I come out ahead with a little left over after all my other financial goals are met, I am more than glad to add to my retirement funds with the extra cash. Your plan is very well thought out, or rather very sensible, taking care of your expenses. I actually appreciate how narrow you have pinned it down (or broad?). It shows the areas where you have to live within your means while fulfilling other obligations. Keep up the good work, you will be happy about your efforts 10 years down the road.
