I finally hit $5,000 in my emergency fund and I honestly didn't think it would happen
I set up auto transfers of $75 every Friday back in January and stopped checking the balance because it felt like nothing was moving. Logged in this morning and saw $5,012 sitting there, which is more than I've ever had saved at once in my life. Has anyone else been shocked by a number like that after just letting the autopilot do its thing?

That's the thing about small habits, they add up in ways we never notice because we're too close to them. Same reason a guy I work with lost 40 pounds over two years just by walking on his lunch break, never once tracked it, just did it. Our brains are terrible at seeing slow progress but great at panicking over the day to day stuff. The fact that you stopped checking is probably what made it work, since watching it every week would've just made you crazy.
