The first thing I do every other Thursday when I get home from work is check online to see how much I was paid. The second thing I do is hop on over to ING Direct and move 10% of my pay to my emergency fund savings account. Can I afford 10% out of every pay to put in savings rather than paying bills with it? Absolutely not. Even with that 10%, I still wouldn’t be able to pay my bills without adding to my debt a little bit every month. So, I figure, balls – I can’t pay my bills either way, so why not? The emergency fund is more important to me right now. $1000 was my goal, but I think I’m going to push that higher.
