Hit $10k in my emergency fund, but the real surprise was the date
I set up automatic transfers of $200 every two weeks back in January, and I just crossed $10,000 on Tuesday without even checking the app for four months. The lifestyle creep from a raise in March almost derailed it, so what small wins kept you all on track when your income shifted?

How did you actually set it and forget it without peeking at the app every week? The four months thing is the real winner here, not the $10k. I check my balance constantly and it makes me want to spend it, so I had to move mine to a bank I never look at. When I got a raise last year I bumped my auto transfer the same day before the money even hit my checking, that way I never felt like I had extra to blow. The trick is to act before your brain gets used to the bigger check.
