Marvellous March's No-Spend Days Challenge!

AuntieL

Not a NSD for me ☹️ Car was in for MOT (which was budgeted for). However it needed 4 new brakes and other bits to do with brakes (you can tell I’m not a mechanic 🤣) which used up my car repair fund and my emergency fund. I know that’s the purpose of an EF and, had I been in the same situation last year I would have used my credit card, so I should be happy that I haven’t got myself further in to debt. But I feel deflated as it’s taken me ages to build up the EF and I know it’ll be a while before I’m able to build it up again.

But @AuntieL look at what else you have achieved as well from your signature, you are making great progress, eventually all your money can go into EF so you will be in a better place once you are debt free. But I know what you mean, I am so inpatient to see it grow, it just never grows for me.

@AuntieL Hotdog is right, you can see your progress from your signature, and unexpected repairs for the car or anything else are the exact reason to have an emergency fund, so it worked the way it was meant to, I know it probably feels as though the money's just gone but it's much better than putting it on a credit card xx
