Emergency fund....safe!

Dear trusty, old, rusty, beat up '92 Chevy pickup,

thank you for not being fatally injured when you would not start the other day.
Thank you for only needing $60 worth of labour to remove the corrosive buildup from your positive battery terminal, instead of needing $300 of new alternator, or what-have-you.
Sincerely,
me and the emergency fund.


I am trying to be more mindful of my spending and saving, so I can be more accountable. Accountable just to me right now, because I'm typing to myself, but I also like to think one day someone else may stumble upon this and go "Damn. That girl should get a real job...but hey, she is mighty accountable." :)

This week, I spent money on:

Groceries! $37 at the food basics, and then $27 at the IGA. We're trying to budget $80 a week for the two of us.

Truck- $67 after tax, I believe.

Brunch! $28 we splurged on big brekkies and mimosas with some friends we haven't seen in a while.

Drinks and misc!- oops, we did it again. I don't have the numbers since my spousal picked up the tab. two drinks... maybe $12.00?

Play! the husband was in a play, which was the cause of above-mentioned drinks. So I blew $3.00 on a latte while I waited to go buy my $5 ticket.

Save?
I did actually manage to put $90 in short-term and $20 in long-term savings this week.
yee haaaa.
