Almost feels like a cliche with the amount of memes I’ve seen about this exact scenario. The day after I was celebrating hitting $1k in savings for the first time in my life, my dog gets seriously ill and needs to stay in an oxygen tent at the emergency icu vet all day. It was $850 (he’s too old and sick for pet insurance now, not something I could afford in his younger days when it was viable). He’s home now with an increased dose of his very expensive heart medication.

But it’s ok, feeling lucky that I had the money to treat him without going into debt, and with a new found confidence that if I can save $1k once, I can do it again. And again and again. I’ve got this.
