How much should one aim to earn, and, what would be a good percentage to save every month right after graduation?

Hi everyone. I will be graduating soon and am doing some financial planning for my future after hearing a lot about it from my peers. What i'm wondering is, how much should i aim to be earning first? And after that, how much (%) should i be saving every month? My goal is to live a financially comfortable life throughout my lifetime - sufficient funds to get a BTO, raise a family, and then retire comfortably with enough CPF funds.

There is no definite answer as different people have different lifestyles. I think it is great so long you save a sum of amount at the end of the month.

As high as you can get.

That said, don't just chase the amount, but look at the learning opportunit...
