My new payment sits right at a comfortable budget, but its still 800 more per month than I was paying to rent the rental was not a nice place. Anyway, so now that my finances are tighter than theyve been in 3 years, Ive suddenly had a spate of emergencies crop up.3 year old cat needed surgery: 2600Kitchen sink broke: 100Front door broke: 40Car needs new brakes and rotors: 600Last night flood from sewer back up into my unit: havent gotten a bill yet, but Im guessing200-400 for the plumber and 200 for water damage.Im really glad I wasnt put in a position of having to choose between putting down a beloved pet and having to go into credit card debt. Now if the emergencies could just stop hitting, I could start to try to rebuild the fund. :
