I want to have a good 6 month in emergency savings stashed. I would like to be funding both the emergency and car funds at the same time, knowing of course that the car fund is a "Plan B" emergency fund.<br /><br />Frugal Dreamer - I was glad I bought the new car and have been thrilled with it, but next time I probably will look for a used vehicle. Having no payments is going to be awesome!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703479564503074258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-36471663106340024712009-05-22T02:04:54.436-04:002009-05-22T02:04:54.436-04:00Congratulations!!!

If I were you, and this is just my suggestion - for what it's worth, I'd build up the emergency fund a little bit. Not just what you're planning to put towards the house as far as painting goes, but towards your actual emergency fund. If memory serves, you only have a month or so in there, is that right? With as much as you've got going on, you should definitely have more. I'd like to see you with some more cushion. If you think that car will last you another 5 years, you've got a golden opportunity to sock some money away!<br /><br />Whatever you decide to do, as always, I wish you the best!Kristy @ Master Your Cardhttp://www.masteryourcard.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-69407589562260457262009-05-21T19:12:58.157-04:002009-05-21T19:12:58.157-04:00Congrats!!!!

Bummer that the house stuff is costing more than you thought. I find that with every single project we undertake at home-it drives me up the wall! Hang in there-you've done so well with your money so far, you can handle this house painting adventure!psychsarahnoreply@blogger.com
