A Journey to Financial Independence and Finding Meaning in Life

We’ve met our savings goal - almost!

Our stimulus check arrived last week. I just transferred about $540 to our emergency fund to bring it up to $5000 again. This was our first Dave Ramsey goal that I talked about in a previous post.  So it’s not official yet (since technically the money isn’t in the account), but it’s in the process!

It feels great, but I will feel better about it once I have secured another part-time work-at-home job to bring in income over the summer (I currently tutor online, and the hours will be decreasing soon). I don’t want to have obtained our goal only to dip back into the emergency fund a couple of months later!

Next, I need to update our accounts to see what we can put towards our high-interest student loan.

What were your plans for your stimulus check? Did you follow through with your plans?

    We got ours this morning and like you, part of it went into savings and the rest on higher interest bills.

    No gadgets or new technology for us although Ken really needs a new computer.
