Without a double income our baseline eats up a little more then 3/4 of my take home. When Em is working we make it a rule to live on about %75 of out total take home and I am sure we could trim that back to %50 without a problem. We find that tucking away %25 works just fine for back up accumulation, %50 seems a bit panicky... that said we both have ultra secure jobs.
