I think this was one of the first goals I made when I joined this site, 4+ years ago. This would have been impossible in this timeframe without getting laid off and subsequently finding a better-paying job.

But now it’s done. Hooray!

I plan to continue to put money into my emergency fund, to try and eventually save 6 months’ salary. But that is a lower priority than some other financial goals. Of the amount I was saving towards this goal every month, I will now put only 1/3 into my emergency fund. The other two-thirds will go into my 401k (I doubled my salary deduction) and debt repayment, respectively.
