    Ok, I found this off of www.bankrate.com which Jennifer (my4littlebuffaloes) had posted with information for the emergency fund.

    I surfed around in there...hahahaa...and came up with these links to even more wonderful articles and I am already going to be saving $6 plus 15% off of our phone bill as we have call waiting (only feature on our phone except for our long distance plan) and I am getting rid of it .....I am calling tomorrow. So that is with tax $6.90 a month extra or.........drumroll puhleaseeeeeeee $82.80 a year
