Question about hitting a weirdly specific savings goal

I mean, I've been putting $75 from every check into a separate account for car stuff, and I just checked it and it's at exactly $1,000. It's weird how seeing that round number made me feel way more in control than I thought it would. Does anyone else get a weird boost from hitting a number that just looks right?

Oh man, totally. I get the same dumb rush when my gas tank stops on exactly a full dollar amount. I'll sit there for a second feeling like I've somehow beaten the system, even though I just paid for gas.

My buddy Dave saved up for a specific vintage Lego set. He dropped his spare fives and ones into a jar for months. When he finally counted it, he had exactly $327, the exact price with tax. He sent me a picture of the cash piled up and just wrote "it is time." Felt like he unlocked a secret level in a game.
