(Xander in the spring last year)
Hey guys!! Happy Spring! If you live in a cold climate like me you know exactly how exciting SPRING really is :)
Well today we had to use our remaining emergency fund we built back up.
Sometimes I really do feel like we are spinning our wheels but I can look back and see our progress and then I feel better. I highly recommend keeping a chart or something plainly visible everyday to remind yourself that you are winning. However slowly or quickly you are winning.
Anyways.............We went to get our van brakes repaired and what we thought was going to be a 100-200 brake pad repair ended up being (the rotor and drums in the rear brakes were shot) 476.00. Just a little over what we had in our emergency fund right now (430.00) the rest was EXACTLY what we had in our car repair envelope! Crazy huh?
We found out a bit of bad news too apparently the wheel bearings in the back need to be replaced, another 450 repair :/ SO we are hustling now to get the money to fix the car and get it fixed quickly and build our emergency fund back up.We are doubling the recommended amount this time so it will take a while.
I am so grateful we had the money to repair the brakes!! We had no idea they were so bad. Now I am going to be a mess until we get that money back in! (Security gland in full meltdown mode) We can do it, this much I know.
That's all for now guys, just wanted to give you guys a quick update on our journey. How are you guys doing?
