I've been trying to get better at planning for those random expenses that pop up, like car repairs or vet visits... First, I started setting aside a small amount each paycheck into a separate savings account. Then, I tried keeping track of past surprise bills to estimate how much I'd need. It's kinda working, but sometimes still feels shaky. Curious if someone has a smarter or easier way they deal with this stuff?

You're already doing better than most people by setting aside money regularly—nice job. A couple things that've helped me:
- Keep a small buffer in checking for minor surprises.
- Round up your estimates slightly—better to have extra than not enough.
- Don't stress too much; unexpected stuff happens to everyone.
