Just got a windfall from an unlikely source, and combining that with what I saved this month and had previously saved over the past year, I now have more than a month’s worth of emergency funds! :D
I’m not sure how anyone else does it, but I calculated one month based on how we live right now, with the addition of some money to possibly pay for health insurance. You never know, and if you have a pre-existing health condition, it’s a must-have.
I eventually want three month’s worth, but I’ll sleep a little more soundly at night with what I have. :))
how many people look over a smile. I find myself always smiling at strangers, even if they don’t look friendly or that they would be responsive. I actually made it a personal goal of smiling at every person I came into contact with one day, and I was amazed at how few people responded. It’s like they thought I wanted something from them ... Doesn’t matter, though, because I did make several people smile, and one even struck up a conversation. The best one was a child, and you just can’t beat those smiles. ;)
