How much do you put into savings, 401(k), trading accounts, etc. each month?

I'm somewhere between $2k-$4k depending upon the month.

401k shouldn’t really be counted as savings

I max out 401k, then save about $2,000 after tax monthly, excluding bonus. I save or invest as much of bonus as possible. Last year, saved about $50K of bonus.

About $2000-2500 a month. 401k is only like $600 a month (I just max out my match) and then the rest is post-tax savings and investments. Side-gig money probably adds another 15k or so over the course of a year.

$4500/mo into work retirement accounts (not including wife, who maxes out 401(k) and gets a match of around $8k/yr).

$1k/mo into a state bond fund.

$900/mo cash (but usually end up tappign into this so it winds up not really being savings).

$450/mo into a 529.

Probably another ~$2K after tax give or take each month.

Then $100-150K after tax end of the year depending on how I do.
