After the ex wife essentially hit the reset button on my finances (she didn't put me in debt, but damn near did) through the settlement and finishing paying alimony a year ago I have aggressively saved close to 40%. The rest is budgeted to the penny. I had to start budgeting to get by after the ex left (I should have been doing it before). It gives you a wonderful piece of mind to know where every penny you own is at.
