Just crossed $10k in emergency savings and I'm shook

I set a goal to hit $10k by the end of the year but I just checked my account last night and I'm already at $10,430. That's after putting an extra $200 from a side gig into it last week. It feels huge because I used to live paycheck to paycheck and never thought I'd get here. Anyone else hit a number that felt impossible at first?

Maybe it's just me but that money could be earning more elsewhere instead of sitting there.

Yeah sure, let me just go earn that $3.50/month in a savings account, life-changing stuff lol.
