Hit $1k in my emergency fund yesterday and almost cried

I've been trying to save for like 3 years and kept dipping into it for dumb stuff like takeout or new shoes. But about 6 months ago I set up an automatic $50 transfer every payday to a separate account I don't check. I finally looked yesterday and it hit $1,012. It's not huge but for me it's a real milestone because I never stick with anything. Anyone else have a number they're aiming for that feels impossible?

What's the number you're scared to admit you actually need?

Oh PLEASE, needing any number THAT badly just means you've got ZERO self-control.
