I'll side with GGG here and say saving 10% of your pre-tax income is not overly difficult, so long as you started doing it early. I'd say most of us had some pretty low paying first jobs, but if you are used to always only getting 90% of your salary, you learn to live within those means pretty quick.
To stack on that too, if you are putting that 10% in an RRSP, you'll save the tax on it and only be out of pocket for even less, say 6-7% of your paycheque.
