I'm down to under $5k on my student loans at 3.5% interest after staring above $57k in 2013. The last few months I've been catching up on maxing my Roth IRA and HSA accounts for 2016/2017. Now I'll finally start saving for a home down-payment! I live in San Diego, CA, so that's why the numbers might seem astronomically high. My SO will hopefully have a 2nd marker color, and will start adding to the motivational chart as soon as he finishes up his emergency fund.
I don't know why, but getting to color in my progress just makes me feel better :).
EDIT: Just for reference, my salary since starting my full time job in 2014 has only been between $40-$56k/year before taxes, and much of that comes from 2nd jobs/freelance work.
