To Boosami: "why a secret", because he is a spender and would find a reason to "need" to use the money. His main thing, which is very odd, is tune ups on the cars. Not a bad thing, but not as often as he seems to think they need it when he feels we have money. He isn't a mechanic, doesn't know a thing about cars and I think this is his way of trying to take care of the cars. I don't know.
Anyway....we now have a second EF that he does know about and I got an email saying two cars have appointments this weekend (usually oil changes). EF won't be touched, as that isn't an emergency.
The fact we haven't kept a savings account in 25 yrs is a big eye opener wouldn't you think? We would start it, then something come up and I would give up. Perhaps our definitions of emergencies were different then.
Once I feel like I have a good handle on things, I will share that info...but right now it could all fall apart still, we are just on the edge of this and hoping to gain momentum.
