RE: Money Talk Friday: Emergency Funds | IAAC 197th

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I agree - we need to "pay" ourselves first before paying bills, food, etc. It doesn't have to be a ton but just a little each paycheck.... I am in the habit of this, even with the lower income at the moment.... :)

I was fortunate enough to be able to live frugally and save up for a small emergency fund. It really does provide peace of mind & I won't touch it unless it's a TRUE emergency. I even have a small savings where I keep money for bills so I continually add to that as well.... little by little, but as you're seeing, it adds up :)

I love Rachel Cruz and Dave Ramsey - have you read the Total Money Makeover book? If not, that will help you a lot. It really has helped me & you might have seen me talk about that in one of my past videos. It is definitely worth the read. I don't follow the plan 100% religiously but I tailored it to how it works for me...

So funny, as I was typing, I heard you say my name hahah, :) As far as Timmy goes, he actually does not like wet food at ALL. He will eat tuna, though, but he refuses to eat wet food. Dry food he loves - I get the Meow Mix brand right now. I will alternate in flavors sometimes but I try to stick with the same brand. I have heard switching brands too often can mess with their tummies so sometimes it's a matter of being firm about it. Not always easy but Timmy knows now that is the food he is getting. He will get plenty of water and tuna when he wants, too. So he's pretty simple. Some cats are just downright finicky. It could be switching the flavor might help. If they are partial to fish or chicken, etc, try those flavors and see. :)

Wow holy long comment. LOL. Sorry about that but you are so easy to talk to hehe. 😂
Anyways, I hope you have an amazing weekend. I am determined to be off on Saturday this week so I will comment on your awesome posts when I return Sun afternoon. I hope you get things done & have FUN, too! Love ya to the moon & back, Sis. Sending loves, hugs & kisses to you and your fam! :) 💚

Oh btw...about getting married at this time, I think that it's a good thing. We all need to LIVE our lives regardless of what is going on in the world, plandemic or not. Anything that allows us to enjoy and see the good in life is a plus. It should be celebrated. Life isn't all bad. We are in an illusion right now & things are just cracking open. If we only focus on the bad, it defeats the purpose of finding the good. ;) Just my 2 cents. 🙏 💗

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I truly value that. It's just me, myself, and I not seeing past this bleak situation. From where I am, I honestly don't see much improvements in the coming months. If there would be, there should have been already. But that's just the realist in me.

I love your long comments. They're just like long convos hehe. I kinda took your advice and signed off earlier last night. I can catch up later hehe. I just felt like taking an early break. It does help. I hope you enjoy your break too!

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll check that out. I do enjoy reading and applying these financial budget tips. :)

Meow Mix -- I think I've seen that brand around here too. Will take note definitely. You're lucky that Timmy is not a picky eater. Mowe does not seem to like Tuna. Boohoo. She's the hardest one to feed. The others are not too difficult as long as you give them something. LOL! I do change brands often, so perhaps will need to cut down on that.

Talk soon! Have a fantabulous weekend! :) Hugs & kisses to you & Timmy :)
