Like many of us on PF, I throw money into an emergency fund every pay period (in my case, $200), and I've managed to save about $10k. Well today the plumber came out to look at a leak in my kitchen drain, and after replacing some bad pipe and a bad garbage disposal, and clearing my shower drain, the bill is $690. My fiance is cursing and annoyed, but I feel perfectly calm about it. Of course I don't like writing the check, but knowing that I have cash on hand for this makes it a non-event, and I can continue to enjoy my holidays without worry.
Thanks to the other cautionary tales in this sub, I'm prepared, and it feels good!
