Some people are happy to not save, I've 2 mates who are perfectly happy to get their wages each week and spend them all before the next pack arrives, I would feel unwell if I didn't have at least the next few months / years rent in the bank. That was how I started off saving, just each month I would put away the following months rent asap, then I started to make a game of it, see if I could get the next months rent again before it would even start.... currently where I'm living I have.... 61 months rent saved up! It's a fun game :D It's rather nice knowing I could lose my job(s) and just sit on the couch for 5 years wondering what to do next. |
I really hope you don't have that in a savings account where it's earning less than 1% interest when you could be earning 10+% in the stock market with that money.

It’s interesting that the results are very similar regardless of age. |
Interesting is the wrong adjective. Terrifyingly irresponsible comes to mind.
