My Savings Goal
Saving money always felt like climbing a mountain I could never summit.
Paychecks would come in, bills went out, and somehow the balance never grew.
But last year, I decided to change that.
I set a clear goal for myself: build a $5,000 emergency fund. It felt ambitious, but necessary. I started with just $50 a week — sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on the month.
There were setbacks, sure. Life threw some curveballs — car repairs, unexpected expenses — and I had to adjust. But I kept showing up, kept putting something away whenever I could.
Hitting $3,000 was a huge milestone. It wasn’t just about the number, it was about the confidence that came with it. I knew if something major happened, I wouldn’t be completely blindsided.
Now I’m over halfway there, and the habit has stuck.
The truth I’ve learned? Saving isn’t about being perfect. It’s about consistency, about commitment even when it feels tough.
If you haven’t set a savings goal yet, start now. Even a little money saved regularly adds up faster than you think.
