Farm Sales and Pinecone Check to the EF

December 29th, 2015 at 04:58 am

I finally made it to the credit union today to deposit my Pinecone check, the $75 from selling a rabbit, and the rolled coin in my coin jar. I've had them for a week, but with the holidays, just hadn't had the chance to deposit them. I added it to the Emergency Fund.

EF Goal Achieved! I Hit $15K! And New Goals

$15,000.00 New EF Total

I have finally hit my goal of $15K. That gives us bare minimum expenses for 3 months. While I would like to get the EF to double that one day, for now I am going to pause the EF savings, probably for the rest of the year, and work on some other shorter term goals. First up is funding the January Money Fund and the Tire Fund. Today I deposited the rest of the coin jar money into the January Money Fund.

$2258.43 New January Money Fund Total

So from now on the weekly $10 deposit, the monthly $100 deposit, farm sales, and coin jar savings will go to fund either the Tire Fund or the JM Fund.

$14931.89 New EF Total

$68.11 to go to hit $15K.

I think I might make this before June. I have 2 $10 weekly deposits left for this month and I currently have $23 in the coin jar, so that is $43. I am 2 dimes short of a roll, which would put me at $48. I'm sure one of the kids has 2 dimes I can trade for nickles and that would leave me with $20.11 to come up with by the end of the month. There is technically another payday the last Friday of this month, but I'd rather scrape it together before then somehow. It's more fun that way.

ETA: I forgot, I am selling a rabbit tomorrow, $20, 6 turkey eggs tomorrow,$3, and I am currently saving a week's worth of turkey hatching eggs for someone else at 50 cents each, so I do have this.

$245.63 to go to hit my goal of $15K. I am hoping I will hit it next month. Since there is an extra payday in May, I think that I can. Once I hit $15K I am going to start working on building up some of the other funds. I need to add money to the December/January Money Fund next and the Tire Fund. We need to replace the tires on the van in 5 months, so I need to save $200 a month for that.

$14,489.37 Ending EF Total

I have been super busy this week with the garden, but I hope to do a real update today or tomorrow. I bought my camera. I ended up going with a $150 Canon Power Shot. It is lightweight, small enough to fit in my pocket, the lens closes, and it is a gorgeous blue color. I am very happy with it so far for taking photos. I still have to do videos with it, though. That is also something I will do this weekend, as I want to record my garden progress for my farm blog. I'll likely post a link here, too, though.

I got a $5 check from Pinecone in the mail today, so that will get added in on Monday.

My daughter came back from Sakura Con with $240 of the $300 in food money I gave her (I budgeted for $100 a day just in case, though I knew it was way high), so that $40 is the excess con money. I think she did great using only $20 a day. They took snacks, a case of bottled water, and had a mini-fridge and microwave, too.

$520.63 left to go to hit my goal of $15K.
