I am being cheap and live under my means, though I will upgrade soon once I hit one of my goals I am aiming for. But even then I still want to live slightly below my means or "maybe" within my means. I like to avoid financial/money stress as much as possible. Plus I am saving for a few business ventures.

It is just me ( no children, no pets, no boyfriends/girlfriends). I am fortunate to have my Bills/Expenses/Debts to be only about 20-26% of my income Don't have too much debt. Most are school loans but I had some grants/scholarships/etc so that helped a bit. I live frugal (really, I live cheap) and I work my "ASS" off to make a "more-than-enough" income. Maybe 10% goes on Other/Misc things. Then the rest of my money goes to savings/business/investing/education (learning) etc., just trying to build my financial future...

Bills/Expenses/Debts 20-26%
Other/Misc 10%
Savings/Business/Investing/Education/etc = XYZ%

But I find this keeps my life super less stressful.
