I just hit a number in my savings that I never thought I'd see

After three years of putting $200 from every paycheck into a separate account, I logged in today and saw $15,000. It's the first time I've ever had a full emergency fund. I grew up watching my parents scramble when the car broke down, so this feels huge. Has anyone else hit a savings goal that felt impossible at first?

Wait you put away $200 EVERY paycheck for three years straight? That is some serious willpower, I could never stick to something that long. My budget always gets blown up by something random. Huge respect for not touching it, especially coming from a background where money was tight. That 15k must feel like a massive safety net.

I used to think saving was pointless with my old paycheck. Seeing that 15k number would change anyone's mind.
