> Young developers should save 50% of their after tax income.

As someone who travels overseas once or twice a year, goes out all the time, I still manage to save>50% of my income. I don't have a car, cycle everywhere, live in a great share house, always look for deals (for traveling and eating out), and stay in the cheaper hotels/bus it around.



Do you have a partner that agrees with that lifestyle? That is where my asceticism runs aground.


...or live somewhere where it's possible to live that way.


Exactly the same problem for me. It's hard to save when your partner doesn't want to do it for various reasons
