The above is % of my current take home pay, based on the past 3 months (Jul20 - Sep20) when I started tracking my expenses. My gross pay (pre-CPF) is between 3k and 3.5k for reference.
While I think I am doing fine now, I am single, hence not spending on dates, with no big commitments other than family allowance which takes up more than 20% of my take-home, under Necessities. I worry about finances in future (going on dates and getting a flat).
Please advise on how I can manage my $ in future.

Need to have a balance and live life. Having dates etc and finding a mate is not quantifiable in monetary terms. Some money should be spent also to enjoy your life and see the world. So only you can determine the priorities.
Anything above 10% savings sounds ok to me. As you earn more this percentage can increase while allowing you to enjoy your life at the same time.
