After paying bills , we are only able to put $1000.00 in the emergency fund this month. Total now is $3000.00.

I hate to have a negative attitude, but it doesn't seem like we will make our goal by October. Maybe I'll back up the goal date to the end of the year.

On another note, I went to get my car inspected yesterday, and it did not pass. The tint is too dark! It's weird. It passed last year. So now I have to get my front windows retinted. Bummer, I really liked the darker tint. Very nice to have with this Texas sun. Just another expense to add to the pot.

You still have 6 months to hit the goal!!! If you can average 2k a month, you'll hit your goal. Don't forget about the extra week in Aug and Oct.

Merch, you are absolutely right. For some reason I was thinking I had to average 2600.00 a month???!! If I reaaly watch the expenses and nothing major comes up, we may be able to reach our goal by the end of Oct. Thanks.

$1,000 to the EF in a month is great! Don't beat yourself up about it too much, and hang in there.
