Default Re: Building an emergency fund with little income

It's great for you to want an emergency fund. At the same time, don't beat yourself up. With DH as a full time student, of course things will be tight financially. I spent eight years of my life as a full time student and more as a part time student. The key is when DH does get that job, don't go overboard. Remember that you can live frugally, use the excess from DH's future job to fund retirement, downpayment, EF. In the meantime good luck with saving and remember that this is only a temporary situation.
