I remember being so hopeless 😩 when I didn’t have any money to replace my water heater and my credit cards were maxed 😢that was my wake up budgeting moment. Not perfect but I’m glad I started saving up and learned how to live a frugal lifestyle

Its been my goal this year to build up my emergency fund (mix of percentage of wages, cashback sites and side hustles) and this month I've finally hit my target. I feel like now I can relax a bit and let it continue to gain interest. I feel so relieved to not have the pressure on myself anymore to build it up

I always keep $1000 in my safe for immediate access and the rest of my emergency fund in a high yield savings account

I can pay every possible expense for the next 5 years from my emergency fund
This is a long range plan for younger people, but 6 months is imo a very minimum
