Today was my weekly transfer of $10 to my ING savings account. That brings the new total in my Emergency Fund to $596.05. $1000 does not seem so far away anymore. My long-term goal for now is the have $5000 in that account. Although maybe I should call that my short-term long-term goal. Because my long-term long-term goal is to have six months of living expenses and that's oh, way off, and $30,000.

For now I just hope to hit $1500 by the end of the year. I think we can do that. $250 will come from the weekly ten, so that leaves just an additional $650 to come up with. We have another $150 rebate coming, so that will make it $500 to come up with. Which is about $84 a month to come up with. I usually make $30 a month at the least on surveys, so that leaves $54 a month to save.

Well, that puts things in perspective. I sure can save an additional $54 a month, no problem. I'm glad I took the time to figure this out.
