Re: Budgeting for Gifts @Powder Blue Pony and I like the average because each month is different! In the beginning I definitely have to WAM more, but I figure as time goes on, money will roll over and it’ll even out!

Re: Being fully buffered for next month - convenience or true game-changer? I would love to be buffered, but paying off my debt is my priority right now. So unexpected inflows go straight to debt. For me, extra income (i.e. I've fully funded October,…

Re: Feeling antsy, want to pay off some debt, but should I? @internettie That's totally valid! And finding what your right emergency fund level is, is important! As you mentioned below, you're already on a lower income, so $500 does sound right.…

Re: Feeling antsy, want to pay off some debt, but should I? @internettie Oooh I misread your post where, before options, you described your savings. Apologies! Personally, I'd keep what you have now and just snowball everything as much as possible by the…

Re: Feeling antsy, want to pay off some debt, but should I? @Heatskitchen I say this because, worst comes to worst, you drop your buffer a bit as your emergency fund.

Re: Large Medical Expense: Pay it off completely or take the interest free payment plan? I personally don't think there's a right or wrong. If you have the money, plus some extra, I personally would pay it off to free up the cash flow. Or take the 0%,…
