Shoutout to auto-saving for finally getting my savings started

I set up automatic transfers to put $20 from each paycheck into a savings account. It's a small amount, but after three months, I have $240 saved. Any advice on where to go from here?

Remember how my friend bumped hers to $50 after six months, just like @the_lisa said?

Hey, I used to think that wouldn't work, but seeing it add up changes everything.

Solid progress on that $240. What's your end goal with this savings? Like, are you building an emergency fund or saving for something specific? Also, have you looked at what that money is earning in your account? Some places pay next to nothing.
