What's happening?

>> Thursday, October 15, 2009

Well, howdy dowdy ... not a whole lot going on here- I didn't workout this morning because I had a dentist appointment scheduled for 7:10 AM. I got to sleep in an extra hour AND got my teefers cleaned. Pretty good morning.

Last night after work, I started getting a sore throat. Today it feels better so I'm hoping my body will fight off the cold going around. It seems everyone at work is sick right now so it's only a matter of time. We're planning to go camping this weekend so hopefully our plans don't get spoiled.

I sent some moola-moola to our Emergency Fund today- $625 to be exact.

SAVINGS TO DATE= $3,628
28.2%!!!

Honestly, the savings portion of our money makeover could not come at a better time. There are some things happening at work that I can't really talk about, but they make me nervous. I don't think I have anything to worry about, but then again, most of the people I've seen get laid off in my 5 years with the company thought the same thing.

It will probably be 3-4 months before I know anything specific and things play out so right now I just have my speculations...since I'm a worrier that's probably the worst case scenario. I tell myself not to worry, relax, don't freak out, it will all be fine, but my mind tends to go a little overboard with the "worst case scenarios".

Until tomorrow,

I do the "worst case scenario" worry thing too. It's kind annoying. I think it's an overachiever thing. I think it's also why so many overachievers smoke - keeps their hands and minds occupied. :(

Sounds like you guys are making a good decision and sending a lot of your money over to your emergency fund. Hope all goes well with the "issues" at work.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm literally in awe of how much you guys have in an emergency fund. You must make a lot more than me or something- but it's always good to prepare for the worst case scenario!
