    As a 56 year old with lots of life experience, i can tell you all that each and every one of us will have an emergency or hardship at some point. It WILL happen. Our emergency fund has kept us afloat many times. You are doing a phenomenal job at saving!

      Get paid so much and spend so little, is the obvious answer. 😂😂
      Say if you can save $1200 a year with your normal job, but you work 40 hours a week, now get a part time job that's an extra 20 hours, save 100% of the income from that job it can boost your savings per year 10-20x.
      Alternatively you could do some kind of course in that same 20 hours a week to get you a better job or a higher position and that could also do the same.
      I think the hardest thing people have is keeping your lifestyle the same while you income increases.
