I ' m not sure about the Beta Kindergarten , but Alpha os probably in the US as they managed to get there by train in a few hours at most . <| sep |> I used the custom award . <| sep |> That could be debatable <| sep |> Better than here in Australia where judges have an extreme need to say poor guy committed lots of crimes , but he has had a hard life . So we won ' t bother punishing him . poor guy . <| sep |> prob not for purchase tho . just on apple music for streaming <| sep |> Well I think you are okay , since you ' re both employed now and are able to rebuild the fund . I wouldn ' t panic about the drained fund as long as you ' re putting money back into it . Although I want to share a view that I ' ve seen here before , and it ' s that those emergencies may not really be true emergencies if they are reasonably foreseeable . i . e . if you drive an old car , you can probably expect it to break within say , another 5 years just a random #. therefore you should already be allocating a separate newused car fund or repairs for when that does eventually happen , leaving your emergency fund for truly unexpected events . like , family emergency , need to fly across the country family member needed help with something pressing , etc . An old car being more costly to fix than it is to replace is a pretty normal event , it ' s just the exact timing of when it ' s going to happen that you won ' t be really sure of . So I guess my only suggestion is to start a separate slush fund for repairsnew car that you can dip into in the future without worrying about how that might impact an emergency fund . Of course , it ' s up to you to decide if it really matters , since all the money ' s probably going into the same pot at the end . P It ' s just a different mindset if anything .
