I paid $500 to AMEX today. This is the card that I buy gas with and the occasional meal out and gets paid off in full each month.

I thought the life insurance was going to come out today, but that must be tomorrow because it hasn't been taken out yet.

I added $4 in ones to the coin jar and rolled up one each of quarters, dimes, and nickels. I will take it over to the CU tomorrow and deposit it along with the 50 cent piece and the Sacajawea dollar, for a total deposit of $23 to the emergency fund.

I'd forgotten how much satisfaction I get out of dragging my EF up higher and higher with a bit of money here or there. Probably how some of you feel about your mortgage chips.
