depends on how much emergency money you have saved.  you can contribute higher if you have some money set aside.

Still you must be saving $120k per year after all expenses. You are in better position than many others

How much you earn is not important. how much you can save and invest is what you need to check. 

I know a person who was earning 300k every year and eventually he went bankrupt. All dubaara karchulu.. no skill in investing or saving. Yedo high paying job vachindhi.. enjoying life in present that's it. 

I was earning around $120 K since 2010.. I systematically invested in stocks and funds and have a portfolio of almost a million dollar now. That doesn't mean i invested every dollar earned. I enjoyed.. went to pubs.. dance bars.. before marriage.. post marriage to expensive restaurants.. trips.. But, still I spent money very effectively. 

140K is good pay .. dont feel bad.. unless you live in high COL areas like San Francisco.

In my opinion, if you earn $280K and still say that you can't save atleast 70K per annum, then you are not a financialy skillful person. By chance you got a high paying job and you are earning and spending all lot. Once you lose a job, you cannot sustain a normal life. 

Please educate  yourself and spend your money/ save/invest your money wisely.

If you need well balanced personal life with out Financial Pressure's then it should not be more than 35% if you are in India and should not be more than 40% in USA...

Any day not more than 30%.

[Aquaman]

30% 40%

ante lets say person salary  after tax is 8k on avg so ~ 3200 per month lo    principal, interest, propetry tax, HOA, utilities  ani ela vasthay

on a avg of 500k home ki

looks not realistic 

 

[psycontr]

20% of after tax income from primary job.
