I started saving money right before the pandemic started. Luckily, my income has not been affected, so I opened a savings account and set it up for some money to be taken out of my checking account and put in savings. I have saved quite a bit so far. I am saving in order to have an emergency fund (I want to save 6 month's income). Also, I am taking my daughter for a surprise vacation on her birthday in 2022. What are your reasons for saving?
