How Much Savings Made You Feel Secure?

I remember when I was 29, watching my savings account slowly grow with every paycheck. For years, I wondered if there was a magic number that would finally make me feel secure and independent. When I hit a certain lump sum—enough to cover a year’s expenses—I finally felt a weight lift off my shoulders. It wasn’t just about the money, but the freedom it represented. Suddenly, I had choices: to take risks, to say no to jobs that didn’t align with my values, or to invest in myself. That moment was a turning point in my career and my confidence. What about you? Was there a specific amount that made you feel financially independent, or was it more about your mindset?
