<prompt> Human: Not even 2 weeks ago we paid off our last remaining debt. We still have mortgage but I beg to differ that this is debt.Water softener started leaking.. We have the Cadillac of water softeners so we were advised to replace the parts. No problem, we did. To a cost of 340.00 Much cheaper then a new Cadillac water softener though I will say. Then our van had issues, needed to be towed, is currently still at repair shop. Looking at a minimum of 400 or more. Then the cost of tow was 69.00Then we had a very unexpected bill come through of 106.00So right there is 1000 gone out of emergency fund. Which we had just built up to 2000. Im currently trying not to die of an anxiety attack. Just be forewarned all of your fellow friendly pf folks..Stash money for emergencies.edit: We were still in process of building our emergency fund. I realize 2k is nothing. We want at least, at the very least 10k. I also realize that a mortgage is debt, however no matter what we have to pay for housing. Why not build equity then just rent.  <response>: congrats on still staying positive money and attitude.
