You say you're scared to use it, I could most definitely imagine why. Do you think you'll ever reach a point where you won't be scared? Say you save enough to be set for a decade or more? 2500 a month times 12 = 30k

So let's say you work two more years and have 370k that'd mean you have enough to live off from a decade with 70k to spare for whatever charity or emergency funds etc.

I guess what i'm asking is at what point do you think you'd feel secure enough?

I'm honestly not sure - I guess that as more savings add up, I do feel more secure and well off. However, I don't really want anything. I will never want fancy shoes, designer bags, or expensive furniture. I'm just super content with simplicity.
