I know it's been said before, but my emergency fund has really helped me out this month! I recently completed my masters and will be moving to a new part of the state to start part time in April, with full time work beginning in May.
This month I put down a deposit and first months rent for my new studio, and since my current lease isn't up until the end of may will also be paying another months rent (overlapping rents). With all the extra driving expenses of traveling to Santa Fe, NM from updating insurance its put quite the dent in my savings. I'm glad I've been able to keep an emergency fund while in my masters and have a budget.
Current Savings - $5400
Current Checking - $440
*Recent expenses *
- Deposit - $900
- May Rent In new studio $950
- April and May Rent in current Apartment $720
- May Insurance $85
- Car Payment $425
Total $3080
I'll be getting my last paycheck in mid may at my current workplace, but won't be getting a full paycheck at my new job until the end of may. While its hard to see my account dwindling down, I know with this new full time position (starting 55k), I can start bringing it back up!
