FINALLY!!!

$1000 Emergency fund is FUNDED!!!

I've been married for 10 and 1/2 years. We've NEVER had $1000 in savings. To my knowledge I never had $1000 in savings before marriage either. This is a step, a HUGE little baby step that I'm unbelievably proud to have accomplished.

It's funny, Dave says that most people can knock this "first" baby step out in under a month. I really truly feel that this took me 32 years.

Yippee for me, hooray! And I put another $100 in savings towards the $500 hubby cushion.
Now onto paying off the smallest credit card. I believe we owe $575 on it right now.

One little steppity step at a time. Little, little, little by little.

This is where I'd report today's lovely but this has not been such a lovely week after all. I shall not go into details but at least I can be very thankful that baby step one is done.
