Re: Building an emergency fund with little income
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! We've been busy thinking about some of the options and are planning to make up some flyers and pass on the word to some friends. Also, a colleague of DH's is moving across the country and gave us a huge bin of unopened grocery items! Luckily there's only a couple things that I have no idea what to do with (spices) so we will be able to make good use of all of that. I also am planning to sell a few things. For the immediate future I think we are in good shape. Hopefully DH and I will be able to pick up a few little jobs here and there to contribute to our emergency fund on a monthly basis and more good news - the check engine light went off after a couple days but we had it checked out anyways and everything is fine so that was a huge relief!!
The ideas given in this thread were really great. I think with a little bit of networking I should be able to find a way for us to add maybe $50-100 a month without much effort!
