Bruce, I would say that a married guy with children should save at least 6 % of their goss income. Single guy should save 12 %.
Expences that really slow down the retirement savings [House, Vehicle, boat, etc.] should really be well though out. IMO.....most people spend way too much on these major purchase.
Something to think about
: What did you spend money on in the past week [or month] that you could have just as easily put that money into savings? An not miss what you spent the money on?
