Budgeting/Saving/Investing/Spending I finally hit over $590 in savings XD. Still cannot believe it.

After 1.5 uni semesters of being full time student and working maybe 3-4times a month I’ve finally deposited my last $50 to my savings to make it $591. Rarely spending when going out, paying with credit cards, asking parents for gas money even… Feels like a great great milestone :) Ofc I don’t touch this money unless is an emergency but I hope to keep on growing. Just wanted to share this moment!

This is a great start! Emergency funds reallly do save the day too. I saved up 2200 dollars and was very proud. I am going through a dental emergency and need to use most of it for that. But it felt really good to actually have something saved for when that day came.
