Mustache poll: how much do you save?

[BTDretire]

We don't keep track of savings, we don't have a budget, we earn ~ $80K.
I track my net worth of financial assets only. Between 2010 and 2015,
We averaged an increase of $150k per year. In about a week I will tally up 2016
to see how we did. I'm excited to see.
As much as I disagreed with Obama, his stock market sure was good to us.
My $2,500 healthcare reduction turned out to be a $4,200 increase.
Can't win them all!
  Merry Christmas or Festivus.

How do you increase your net worth $150k/yr on $80k/yr income? I'm guessing a massive stock portfolio that appreciated heavily over this bull run?

Yes, thus my comment,
"As much as I disagreed with Obama, his stock market sure was good to us."
Just lucky to have a stash at the right time, it will be very interesting to see what
the next 5 years holds for us.

For the past 4 years, I saved ~200% of my gross W2 tech wages.  I lived ion my rental income.

I just quit my job this year.

I like to calculate my savings rate based on my gross income and not my net income. I think taxes should be considered an expense and brain power should be used to minimize that expense. I don't like using net income and ignoring taxes.
