Auto Repairs Worked Out!!
We paid CASH for the repairs we had done, WITHOUT using our EF !! I'm so happy about that ... I was so stressed about the thought of using up that money. My dh had worked so much overtime last week that we were able to use that money and pay for the repairs, top up the EF to $1000 again AND get some Christmas shopping done!!

Excellent work!!!
If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
