I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Frugal living and debt reduction tips for a better financial future. This is one family’s story.

YAHOO!

I just got the check for my deductible in the mail from when a truck hit my parked car in a parking lot!  Yay!  I got my $250 back!  I knew I would get the whole deductible (I wasn’t even in the car when it happened) but I didn’t know how long it would take.  It took… a while.  But whatever.  Yay!

This changes a few things.  I took that money out of my emergency fund to pay my deductible, so it is going back into my emergency fund.  This brings the emergency fund total to $900.  So, my $216.57 surplus from last month, I only need $100 of it to get my emergency fund up to $1000!  So the remaining $116.57 will be snowflaked to Capital One on Friday, over and above my minimum payment and any other snowflake earnings I have this month.  YAY!  This is so exciting!  I feel like I am making some real progress now.

Now the hard part will be waiting until Friday when my spouse gets his first August paycheck to get the ball rolling :) .
