Doesn't have to be 50%, that's merely an example to illustrate the power of compounding & resisting lifestyle creep. If you take anything away, it's to try to save & invest what you can, as young as you can, and to resist the urge to "keep up with the Joneses". That will put you in a much healthier financial position. I don't know your situation, and you don't know mine.
