howmuch % of money you can save per month? just curious..

Presently, I save about 20%-25% of my net salary every month. When I first started working, it was only 5%-10% because I made so little and lived alone (no splitting of expenses). I feel I've done a pretty good job of saving my money. I now have a nice little "cushion" in the bank, should anything happen like a big bill or losing my job for awhile (not that I think I will, but it is still good to be prepared).

It varies from month to month. For instance, some months I'll spend more money on holiday gifts, so I put less into savings. And, then make up for it the next month by buying cheaper groceries or cutting down the light bill so that I can save more. Usually, I like to put away at least 10% monthly. But, that's the ideal, not the norm.
