Hit my first $10k emergency fund last month and it felt strange

After three years of cutting back on takeout and driving my old Honda into the ground, I finally crossed the $10,000 mark in my emergency fund. I was aiming for $5k originally but kept pushing because I read somewhere that six months of expenses is safer. The odd part is I don't feel rich or anything, just less worried about losing my job at the warehouse. Has anyone else hit a savings goal that felt smaller than you expected once you got there?

Did you figure out if 5k would actually cover you or not?

Yeah it feels weird at first but that peace of mind is worth more than the number.
