Paycheck, Needs, Wants, Under-the-Mattress

Income, Spending, Saving

I read that your income should be broken down as 50% Needs, 30% Wants and 20% Savings.

I used our Mint.com to factor what we really spend.

Considering Net, post-taxes, post-retirement-contribution, we are 50/24/26.

That makes for a nice nest-egg, I think, but a weird-shaped woman (Dolly Parton, maybe?).
