Secondary. No debt at this point and I have cut-rate rent by living in Mom and Dad's pied-a-terre in the city.

Wife and I make $130K pre-tax total, no kids. We probably save roughly 30-40% pretax (excluding 10% 401K contribution).

just saving for the sake of saving...don't really have any immediate plans for the money.

i've been poor all my life, and i still feel like i can get fired any day, so i try to save as much as i can.

Regional BigLaw, no debt. I'm saving about 45% of after-tax. Could be saving 60% if I were willing to live in a shittier place (or Mom&Dad's, like the bro above) or commute.
