How do you use your salary every month? (% breakdown of expenses, savings, investments etc.) Include your age and life stage

For myself, 30M not married no kids no house

Expenses: 20-30%

Savings: 20-30% (building up lump sum for future house plans)

Investments: 50% (DCA into QQQ)

30s

Investment: 60%-70%

Expenses: 30%-40%

No savings because I have already saved up enough. Treating interest as my growing pot.

29M - Not married, no kids, no house

Investments: 70% (Split evenly into DCA - VWRA & Endowus 100% Flagship Portfolio)

Expenses: 15-25% (Will increase to 25-30% next month as I help to pay for bills)

Savings: Remainder (Currently have 6 months or so set aside)

Planning to stay single and live with parents till the end, earn enough to retire asap (current calculations is around 40~45 depending on circumstances).

I have 12 months' worth of salary in savings. Now, should I invest everything after expenses or continue saving a portion of my monthly salary and invest the remaining amount?

Seeking advice as I am new to investing. I would like to save 100k before I reach 45. Currently 35, After deducting all expenses etc with 2k spare cash per month for investing. Thanks. Any advice?

Assuming you have S$1k every month. What would you do with it for investments, savings, and etc.?

How do i know if i am on the right track to financial freedom? I try to invest 50% of my salary every month but I am not sure what stage I am at.

Planning to invest $200 monthly using POEMS ($6 sale charge). Do you think this is worth it or I should wait until I can invest a larger amount monthly etc $400 a month since it’s the same $6 charge?
