My fiance and I combined make about 90k and our goal for the year was to save 24k, which we are well on track for. This is after me putting the max into a Roth IRA and still contribute the max matched at my company’s 401k. We will be in an extremely good position as far as downpayments are concerned in the next few years.
We have no kids, but we do have a dog, and we live a pretty decent lifestyle. It’s really not that difficult to save money. All it takes is a conscious decision here or there. Also having no debt helps.
