How I did it
It made me
feel padded! :) 
How I did it: For me, it was necessary to focus quite a bit to accomplish this goal. I knew it would take time, so really, I just embraced that and tried to make it work for me. I put a little aside month after month (I used automatic payroll deductions for most of this - a certain amount out of each paycheck), cutting back on extras, and putting unexpected income (product rebates, tax rebate, found money) into the pot.

It made me

How I did it: After trying to figure it out on my own (to no avail), I simply added this as a goal and asked for help. An awesome member of the 43Things community came to my aid! Read how I did it…

Slowly but surely...

I’m very slowly, but steadily moving forward with this goal. As I was starting to feel that I haven’t been making progress toward this goal and prices of everything seem to be rising, I realized I needed to change my perspective. While this may only be X months’ worth of expenses, it’s many more months’ worth of mortgage payments. So, if I can only put aside small amounts each week, as long as I am steady with it and only touch it in an absolute emergency, I am making progress. So at this point, when it feels like bills are stretching me in every direction, I am glad to have a small amount automatically going into this account. I can forget about it and let build up and do its job. :)
Taken, now waiting on results
