From pure investment and entertainment point of view, that ratio (gun/saving) should be controlled within 5%. But that's for general non-collector gun players, say, Mr. John Public has a few 1911s, a few ARs, a few AKs, total $5000 out of his $100,000 savings. Big deal? That's very safe. Say, dedicated collectors put more in, 15%, 25%? Of course, you can play higher ratio though, if you don't have other burdens in life to take care of. 70%, 80%? if personal condition allows, you can also do that. It's case by case. Many collectors cannot though.
