Read that again. It's saying that you should have six months of income in some form that is readily available. Cash under the mattress would be extreme, but an interest-earning savings account would be good. Then, anything beyond that six-month emergency fund should be put to work.
As you well note, reality often puts a chunk of that six month cash buffer to work defraying unplanned expenditures. Ask my transmission guy how I know. :0(
LOL!
I don't think we'll go that far...I think we're already looking for a ZOT! thread to hijack for the 1st of September.
At least sion mentioned that last night...I think. :o|
I'm so happy to hear that, 'Face.
:-)
*blush*
Thanks for being the first member of my fan club! ;-)
cars will get you every time.
AND if you are really unlucky, they conspire with the household appliances and the ar will give it up at the same time as the fridge and the hot water heater.
Personally, I think they are out to get us all...
I get it now, beyond the six months of payments.
That makes sense.
I don't think I've managed to do that yet.
Thanks. :-)
'Face,
Don't worry .
I'll track it, even if we "move" and I'm away
We'll ping you, of course.
The only downside of seeing the aircraft was this: I didn't have a camera with me.
*Groan*
The Collings Foundation brought them here as somewhat of a flying history museum.
And, in a way, to make history more alive.
I would have loved to have heard the engines start up, but I was kinda there at the wrong time.
Tomorrow is when they will be flying them.
LOL, fanfan.
My father said something the other day that sounded like he said "There is a possum in the works."
And, of course, it ended up as a tagline.
;-)
I'd tried to be modest and not mention it, but it came out in the course of discussion and then...Egad! Did you know that 'Face is...she...well, it's just that there was this thing about needing oil for her elbow? Well, of COURSE it isn't confirmed in so many words, you understand but... And THEN I had to shunt the Indiscriminate Innuendo Generator output to Vegas for several hours to preserve propriety and decorum. This IS FR, not MAXIM, after all.
[fanning self vigorously] Honestly, the things I've learned here on FR... I never!
Sounds like you had a good day.
The Yankee Air Force Museum here in Michigan BURNED a couple of years ago and a lot of nice old planes were lost
One of our 4-H kids was helping his Dad and Older Brother restore one of the old things...
You've LOTS of company. The six-months savings bit comes AFTER you liquidate your credit debt. Until then, keep it to three months of buffer capital; paying off those double-digit interest rates is higher priority.
HKMk23, thank you for the Wikipedia link. It's been a long time since I read Adams' stuff.

Well we ARE onto the conspiracey.
Despite their best efforts, and apparently YOURS.
LOL!
And 'Face ALWAYS bears watching
Yup.
I even got to walk inside the two aircraft.
There's more space inside than one would think, but there is less space than one would want.
*chuckle*
I hate money.
That's possibly why I don't have much of it.
:-)
I thought we WERE the conspiracy.
I'm always missing these memos..
;-)
Part of why they want our 4-H boy in on the restoration is because he's still small enough to crawl up into the thng and get into places the Big Folks cannot.
If his Mom keep s feeding him, though, he won't be able to do that much longer, though! LOL!
Glad you liked it. I never did get a copy of the fifth installment of the H2G2 series, "Mostly Harmless". My collection ends at "So long, and Thanks for all the Fish" and I've not opened any of them in several years.
LOL, yeah.
There were spaces in there that would have made me exhale to squeeze through.
Yup. We need to be looking NOW for the "September Chronicles" thread home. Because by 9/01/2005, we need to be ready to move, and that takes preparation.
Whether NickNamedBob contributes a verse to the move is up to him -- I'm stil trying to figure out how to record such for history.
