Well, things are looking up a bit. May will be a big income month for us. My husband will get an extra paycheck (being paid every other Friday, with an extra Friday in the month); we are expecting a large tax refund of $7,500; I have several craft shows booked and am budgeting $500 (as most the money I keep in the business); we are getting a check from FEMA for $500 our flooded basement, and I have several babysitting days lined up accounting for another $200.
So, looks like we will be able to finish the Emergency Fund of $30,000 and put another $8,000 into short term savings!! I really can't believe it!
We will finally be able to start saving for college and do some much needed home repairs. The Dave Ramsey Plan really works!!! :)

Congrats!! We are also having a good month for some of the same reasons. It really does feel wonderful. Stay on target and you'll be amazed how far you go.
That is amazing!!!! How far you have come! Congrats!
Wow! That is so cool! I can't wait to hear about all the home improvements! :)
Wow, I dream of being in your financial shoes one day! It's encouraging to hear from someone who is further down the path. Thank you!
You are my inspiration at this point of just starting out! Thank you for keeping us informed of the long term and short term goals.
Oohhh! I love extra money months. It can sometimes lead to more spending but I'm sure YOU don't do that. Congratulations on all the extra funds! It is a little extra insurance and peace of mind for the family. Kudos :)
I was just looking through your posts and saw that you make pendents. You should really add a link to your items on the sidebar! You never know how much extra money that might bring in!
