“Hyper saver”

“Save a third of income”

I mean that sounds like you’re just being prudent…doesn’t sound hyper to me

My financial group says over 30% is. I'm not sure it is an industry term or amount. Saving 30k while making around 75k is pretty intense in my mind.

Well first off, 30/75 is 40% not one third which is definitely a little higher.

Second off, no criticism from me! That’s a great mark in my opinion. See if you can draft a list of ways to invest your cash in your own growth etc. you’ve got great instincts.
