The £1,000 emergency fund challenge.

The guy that owns the company has no people skills at all.
He never says hello or good morning.

A good example of his attitude is that all the workshops are unheated. One recent employee decided to bring a small heater in. The boss spotted it and decided to ban people from doing this, until he found out this would be illegal as he was not providing heating.

Hi,

I would love to join in if I could please?

I have never had savings of any kind and would love a buffer in times of need so I don't need credit cards.

Hi,

Rates and water are paid DD over 10 months so instead of the money disappearing into thin air at the beginning of next year I will divert it into emergency fund. Be nice to have a cushion.
Thank you.

Good news on the job front. I start back at a previous employer on Monday.

Starting again. The last few months has been crazy and so had to use my funds luckily I didn't have that much.

I am determined to keep my emergency fund free from me dipping into it.

I've used a new way of budgeting and I think that is going to help loads.

I have £100
In the account .

Missymae0

Thanks Patman99

Starting so close to Christmas may have been a bit ambitious but making a start by transferring £113 into my emergency fund account, hoping to add at least £20 a week

I deposited £22.24 in my savings tin today , which is going towards my Emergency fund.
I've also saved £2.00 a few weeks ago in there which will be going towards my emergency fund too.

My total is now £124.25

Well done to everyone who has managed to save anything at all at this expensive time of year:T:beer:. I haven't needed to dip into my fund for a while so it remains at £1000 but I suspect it may need to be plundered before too long. One of my rear car tyres has a slow puncture and I'd like to get it sorted asap.


Good luck on the first day of your 'new' job tomorrow, patman:beer:
