i always try to save more than that but this last 2 months with the job winding down and the transition to the new place has seen me go a lot lower. but next few months should be better. i usually manage to keep about 1/3 of my income, definitely will be managing that now with my new rent price at 400eur/month. rental prices on this island are completely nuts. fortunately the owner doesn't have much costs with this place so he's charging a much nicer rate. also agents take a substantial cut, i'm dealing direct, under the table.
