<prompt> Human: Celebrating a small success! Ive always hoarded money into non-touchable savings accounts 401k Roth IRA but never was able to keep much in my credit union savings account without eventually transferring it into my checking account to spend. 2,000 in my savings account today! ...Alright, so it has helped that Im on a new assignment at work allowing me for some nice overtime allowance...but woohoo! It looks great to see my account summary with an actual chunk of money in my savings account! I still contribute 16 of my paychecks to 401K and 8 to my Roth IRA...didnt even have to scrimp there, and am actually thinking of upping the contribution s next month. Im on my way to having an actual worthwhile savings accountemergency fund! ...I realize this is probably chump change to most of you, and not much of an accomplishment...but hey! baby steps! Ive learned so much from lurking around here, and as much as I thought I had a handle on my finances before rpersonalfinance...I am making so much progress these last few months! Paying off credit card debt paid down over 50 of it so far, paying off my student loans just dipped under 20k left!, and having an actual savings account! 401KRoth IRA are great...but I have been needing to get disciplined enough to keep some tangible savings out for an emergency fund! WOOOHOOO!  <response>: Well done. Im working on the same thing. Im just starting to get my finances in order after only getting one part-time job during college though it did pay very well and living off some inheritance, then having 6 months of non-permanent employment with no PTO and lots of legal holidays.Credit card is already paid off, student loans adjusted to be paid off in 7 years, savings slowly growing, wedding account stable. Going well.
