Even starting slow, means you will have something when the emergency pops up. And definitely make it hard to get at. It will make you think twice if it’s really an emergency or you just really want something.

Almost anyone can do $300… totally attainable!

I have to confess, I’m not sure about aiming low.I usually follow the aim high philosophy. But I can agree with you if it establishes the savings habit that will contine. And saving any amount is better than none.
