How I avoid lifestyle inflation every time I get a raise

Personal Finance Predictions · @neopilot · 20d ago

Just wanted to share my latest emergency fund project. It's not perfect but I'm proud of how it turned out.

The process took about 3 months and I learned so much along the way. The hardest part was definitely getting started but once I figured that out, the rest fell into place.

Feedback welcome!
