<prompt> Human: So, about 2 months ago, I posted about how my savings rescued me from a really expensive car-breakdown-disaster. According to that post I hadhave been living from paycheck to paycheck up until like January, and I was just starting to figure out my saving routine as of March.I checked my accounts today and I have 2500 to my name. Its crazy; in March, after those car repairs, I would have been looking at like 1000 in total assets, maybe, but today I have 2200 in savings and I feel SO AMAZING.Im still keeping a piggy bank for change and the occasional cash I end up taking out for some reason and not using. I also have been putting my tips from my night job straight into savings, so thats 250 a week for the past four or five weeks. Now that Ive quit one of my jobs with the hope of going back to school, I have my total expenses in mind and Im still going to be able to put away 400-500 a month in savings and Ill survive. If I want to pick up another part-time job I would go back to putting one jobs income into savings and living sparingly off of the other job. But I cant get over this, guys... I might not have huge problems but I really see this little victory as something big for someone whos always struggled with emotional spending! :  <response>: I actually enjoyed this thread. A lot of humble people posting balances that are more relatable to the average joe..instead of...those threads where you read about people saving up 300k, I just reached a new milestone 400k today..Its like give me a break man..most people will never have that in their lifetime..These are rare and few and far between sometimes reading threads on here makes me feel like everybody else in the world has 300-500k saved up when I know thats not the case!
