It is a really strange feeling to see the emergency fund diminish. And much easier psychologically to just "put it on a card" - but I think you're right - that pain SHOULD be felt, not avoided - because it reminds you that you need to be extra mindful of your spending until the net effect of paying that $1,400 or $366 is compensated for.<br /><br />Great post. =)Dr. Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657277209564654877noreply@blogger.com
