Why does nobody talk about hitting $0 debt instead of some big savings milestone
I got really focused on building up my emergency fund for like 2 years. Had $8k saved and felt proud. Then my car transmission died and I put $3k on a credit card because I didn't want to touch the savings. That debt sat there for 6 months and I finally just paid it all off last week. Honestly that zero balance felt way better than any savings number I ever hit. It changed my whole mindset about what progress actually means. Anyone else have a random number that meant more than they expected?

Did you end up keeping the $8k in savings or did you use some of it afterward?

Of course they kept it, what else would they do?
