<prompt> Human: So Im 26 years old, I make 55k a year, I dont have any studentloan debt. Right now Im putting 10 into my 401k. Im paying about 700 a month for my car and 600 for rent. I get anxiety about not having enough money in my savings account. I only have about 1200 right now and I feel like I should be saving a lot more. Any advice on how to budget better so I can build my savings account? I obviously know my car is too much but I leased a mercedes Because Ive always wanted one and was perhaps a little irresponsible with that. I never have trouble paying my bills but I just dont think Im saving enough.This is my first time posting here so I hope I gave all the important info. If I forgot anything please let me know, and thanks for your feedback.  <response>: You should have 3500month take home probably more. Your two big expenses add up to only 1300. What are you spending the other 2200month on?If you dont have a budget, start teaching expenses.Yes, you should at least have 6 months of emergency funds. And retirement, but the rule of thumb for that depends on your age.
