I’m taking some of that to heart by waging my ever so fierce “war against the checkbook,” and found some pretty interesting tips to add to the ones I mentioned a little while ago, specifically 31 Days to Fix Your Finances. Pretty much a crash course in doing something every day for a month to fix some common ailments with your finances, the wrapup contains hints and tips that the blog authors had laid out one-per-day for 31 days. At a lingering glance, the tips look really really worthwhile, and I want to give it a shot. In the same vein, I keep worrying about what I’ll be able to do if something terrible happens and I’m cut off from my sources of income, so calculating my emergency fund needs looks like a good tip as well, especially as I begin to smooth out the kinks in my financial plan and have more money to kick around for things like that. Sadly, three months worth of everything, from rent to debts to groceries, is a pretty hefty sum of money for anyone to stash aside easily. It’ll take some work, like most things do.

Sometimes I actually produce something worth taking away. ;) I think you're right. Right now I'm trying to do a balancing act between saving for the future and paying off my short term debt. It's a difficult place to be in, and I think that the sooner I can get the debt paid off, the more of my overall income I can save for the long haul... Thanks for the praise!
