In the past any unexpected instance like a big car bill would no question make it on the credit card and be carried over for many, many months.

I just wanted to say that although I had to pay $460 today to replace the horn and fix the the settings on the fan I did so by paying cash via Interac. We had money set aside in case of emergencies/repairs so there was no need to use the credit cards which are still at $0 and are paid off in full every month if used since becoming debt free :)

Just wanted to share that this was a victory for me instead of it becoming a rant!

yea Kassandra,

this is the reason why i have putting money toward our freedom account. Especially, since we are in the process of building a new home in the Poconos. I want to have a cushion for any unexpected expenses.

Thank you so much! I have no doubt that you are already an inspiration to those who love you and soon enough you'll share your "success" story with everyone here :)

MYM, congrats on the new house and even better that you are preparing for the unexpected stuff that always pops up especially with owning a home.

I hope your house brings you tons of joy!
