    8 days after I grew my emergency fund to a full year of expenses, I had to use all of it to redo the pluming in my bathrooms and do a double bathroom remodel while the foundation and walls were torn up. It was a punch in the face to be back a zero again. BUT, IM STILL POSISTIVE AND DEBT FREE BUT MY HOUSE. Its hard but its worth it!

      Sorry to hear that. I’m curious as to how it all turned out. I’m currently going through the same exact thing. Only problem is, I’m still in baby step #2 with only 1k emergency fund. I filed an insurance claim and have a $500 deductible, but will have to come out of pocket for all the plumbing work. Reno’s should be taken care of by insurance “God willing”. Like you, I’m staying positive.

    When things went horribly wrong for me, i listened to my heart. I wanted to end this life.... I hated everything around me but my daughter.
    I listened to Dave while driving a failing cab. Then one day, i watched his video about quitting a job. I listened to my heart and not only quit my taxi but i moved out of the liberal California. To become sucessful, you have to be weird. I did it. No regrets.

    My wife and I started step 2 a few years and it was going great. So great we felt like we were given a raise each time we paid something off. Then we fell off the wagon hard. Now we're in more debt than we were to begin with. But this year we got back on the wagon and started going again. It is hard. When you're used to just doing whatever you want because you can put it on a card and suddenly you're not going out to eat, steak dinner night is now beans and rice night like every other night, it's hard. But I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

    I'm also on baby step 2. I've found making spreadsheets and mapping out my goal and progress to be really helpful. I've also made a debt coloring pic for my wallet with a square for every $1000 of debt still owed, so every time I open my wallet, I am reminded of my goal. I made it on a posted note, and as a path like the candyland game.

      @melip3114 7 лет назад

      Drummergeorge we just started FPU earlier this month and have no savings. In order to get the repairs done I had to take what we had saved for the registration and repairs plus tap into one of our lines of credit

      pamperedgurl we just started FPU this month. I had some money set aside for the registration but I couldn't get it registered because it failed inspection, so we had to fix it to get it registered without late fees or penalties.. we also just started are emergency fund this month so no. . we did not account for this in our first budget.

    Thanks Dave. Needed this video to remind me that it is so worth it. I'm 19 yrs old trying to become plumbing apprentice and it seems like I opened up a sour can of worms trying to contact the union on their plumbing courses they offered and it backfired because my company was union and I was never told. Next thing I know the union is calling me giving threats saying I'm illegally employed and my company is in big stink. My employer has laid me off and I just saved up my first $1000 for my car loan. The loan is 10k and now I'm out of a job and fighting these payments! I'm waiting for more news from the union to see what's going on. Keep up the great content! Thanks

      @go6798994 7 лет назад +2

      Karen Hardie, the wisdom teeth and vet bill I agree with yes, and unless you take the interstate everyday you don't need new tires, get used ones installed at $25 a piece, keep a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk, and keep the AAA membership renewed. I will never again spend $1000 on freakin' TIRES!
