I max my 401k, Roth IRA and HSA (Canada equiv: RRSP, TFSA and of coarse Canada has free health care)... same with my girlfriend (we live together).

So that covers ~25%... my mortgage is another 25%... taxes 30%.... somehow I guess I'm making due with 20% thats left over. Its a lot tougher to make due, but I still get all the travel and weekend trips so far. Nothing left goes into my own personal investments though. My girlfriend just has retirement contributions and mortage, so she's putting back a higher % into savings.
