Tricia, that’s gotta be a great feeling of accomplishment to get that emergency fund fully funded! I’m still debating what I consider a fully funded emergency fund myself… I have more than six months in there now, but I’m not sure if cutting that down a bit would be wise.

There was an article on MSN Money a few months ago that said ‘why everyone needs to have $500 in the bank’. A small stash a.k.a the emergency fund makes it easier to sleep at night.

Congrats on the accomplishment.

Congrats Tricia! As Jen said, it usually unexpected expenses that pop up but the unexpected windfalls are GREAT. It’s also good that you put it to good use.

Good deal to have that extra money around. I have a hard enough time trying not to think about my 1k EF for things we should cash flow.

Excellent! Just as we have unexpected expenses, we sometimes have unexpected windfalls. I think you made a good decision with the insurance check.

Half your debt is paid, and now you have an emergency fund – you’ve come a long way! You should take a moment and sit and enjoy the feeling
