    Default I finally did it!

    Yesterday I set up an auto transfer of $1000 from our checking to our savings which is now our EF.

    YAY! My EF is fully funded and it feels great! Will be putting $300 more in at the end of the week and more every 2 weeks! I am super motivated

    Well I did have money saved to put into the EF but Murphy visited: I had a flat tire, DH needed new sneakers, washing machine busted, etc... so there went my plans.

    This time I have a $1000 in the EF and still have money in the checking account should something need to be fixed or replaced.

    Great job...keep that motivation going strong!
