I fund it every payperiod because something always happens. Tires, appliances, plumber, once is was a funeral of a loved one. But we have the money to do, fix or go when we need to and it doesn't effect our regural finances. The emergency is stressful enough without having to figure out how to pay for it. <abbr><em>Kelly’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.yummypears.com/2009/03/freezer-pantry-inventory.html" rel="nofollow">Freezer & Pantry Inventory</a></abbr></em> I have a seperate emergency checking account and it is a budget lifesaver.

WAY TO GO!! Last year my hubby told me that I was going to need new tires on my truck so I asked him how much. The total cost was going to be around $800, so I started putting away $40 a week, and by the time that I actually needed them I had the money saved. Was I glad. Of course he does not worry about these things, he always says that it will work out. LOL We own our own semi so I am use to a big tire bill, luckily where we go, they take payments and I usually have a $3000 tire bill paid off in 3-4 months and they are o.k. with that. Sometime I would like to actually have the money up front, but I would probably shock the guys if that happened. Great Job, I love to read your blog.
