And I have been putting the money I would have spent on comercial and chemical cleaning fluids aside each month. I saved a small fortune already and shall continue to do so. No real ideas what I`m going to spend these savings on eventually. I just keep saving. I`m sure there will be a time in the future when some of it if not all will come in handy. If I don`t use it I shall continue with the saving to build up my retirement fund.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-49435510818328878982012-05-04T12:11:28.437+01:002012-05-04T12:11:28.437+01:00Good point.

The car and washing machine are always the things to take me by surprise (never a good time for these to break down). I can live without most things but not these, so they need repairing or replacing asap. Need to open a seperate account for these emergencies.

I have an emergency fund that I do try to not touch except for real emergencies, and I sometimes save up for specific things separately, but I hadn't thought to set aside an "opportunity" fund for unexpected trips, opportunities, etc. - that's a great idea!Suzanne with Laughing Wallethttp://www.laughingwallet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-61188032202556198962012-05-03T16:21:27.771+01:002012-05-03T16:21:27.771+01:00This is a really good idea--yes, we should cover t...This is a really good idea--yes, we should cover the emergencies but it's also good to have cash socked away for the opportunities we'd rather not miss!Pamelahttp://feralhomemaking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-28079340309382391732012-05-03T13:12:15.294+01:002012-05-03T13:12:15.294+01:00Frugal oh yes you are.
