i try to follow the 70-20-10 rule
70% to day to day expenses
20% to going out to dinner and other "niceties"
10% to savings...
that's my rule.. but the reality is that the wife puts away a good amount of monies into various accounts for various things. In just a few years we've created a substantial nest egg.
