Hitting the 3k in savings mark pre tax return appreciation!!

[Mr210]

Im in that stacking mode too, dumped a high maintanance gf in mid January, ever since then I hav stacked 1.5k in less than two months

You realize just how much more money you save when being single. I've added about 2500 more to my account since breaking up with my gf beck last summer. If it was for car problems I would have saved another 3,000

Ain't tryina rain on the parade, cause I'm not there yet. But is 3k considered a lot for savings? I'm tryina get to 10k

based on average americans savings, yes. For me, it has been a long time coming to get here. 3 years ago I was broke, WAY upside down on a car note (coli was hard on me for this http://www.thecoli.com/threads/getting-straight-raped-by-this-auto-loan-i-recently-signed.41266/) and working a temporary job paying 9 bucks an hour. I'm not here to boast or brag just to show progress.

@GunRanger roth ira will likely be after 6k mark so I can start with 1k from that to start it up. My current job doesn't offer it.

I've linked one of my checking accounts with an app called ACORNS. Every time I swipe it, the app rounds my purchase to the nearest dollar and invests the change into a 401(k)-like portfolio. You can cash out at anytime though, with no penalties.

Being able to save money is more than just stacking paper bills. It's also a sign of good mental health. You don't need to acquire things in order to feel fulfilled in life. I've been broke (but never had to borrow a dime) and it was almost unbearable at times. God willing, I'll never go back down that path.
