I try to put $100/pay period in 2 separate savings accounts. (Total $200/pay period.) I also have $100/pay period going to an account for eBay, Amazon, and other online purchases. 5% of my pay period gross goes directly to my retirement account. (In an emergency, I could borrow from that.)
Of course, I still have a lot of credit card debt ... so I'm not as wise with money as I'd like to be. lol
Sounds to me as if you are doing just fine Walt. Jim and I ain't rich by a long shot but in an emergency we surely have $400 to use for it without being unable to pay other bills. We can come up with $4000 too. $40,000 would be an enormous dent and hobble us but we could figure a way to manage it and $400,000? Fuggedddabouttit. That ain't happening in this lifetime. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thy!
