I have $300 dollars in my savings account (My budding EF). AND I just payed my mortgage for this month without needing to pull from it! I have enough money leftover this week for food and gas with a little extra! Next weeks paycheck will pay for our cell phones, my cable bill, DH's life insurance and my son's viola payment, the dentist, food, gas, EF payment and my late Condo fee payment. That will all come to about $750 dollars. My worst weeks of the month are the 1st and the last! As soon as the last is done, the 1st week is right back there again! I guess I could probably fix that if I wanted to! DH is working overtime this week with a potential of an extra $500 dollars in the next few weeks. This means that soon I will have a fully funded Emergency Fund! I've been waiting since last November for this to happen!
My first Emergency is going to be getting my mortgage back on track, then my washer fixed. Then I'll work on building it back to the $1,000 dollar mark and then work out what we're going to do with our broken down car.
The next few months should be interesting as I have a husbands birthday, 3 kids birthdays, my birthday, my mom's birthday then Christmas and a big fat timeshare tax to look forward to by the 1st of the year. But I think as long as I keep planning I will be fine.

Now that sure sounds like a winning plan.
