Last month we completely depleted it for our dog's surgery. But, it was such a secure feeling to know the $$ was there and no more charges would be run on the credit card. I am happy to report, we have already been able to put $200 back in! As someone who never had an EF, I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it feels to actually KNOW that we have one now.

The second paycheck of the month I put a set amount into my savings account, most of the money helps with purchases in the near future (gifts, clothes, hair cut, car repair, copays, etc...). It's one way for me to plan ahead though, and it helps to eliminate credit card use. I treat savings like a bill.
