Just checking in with an update on my Month Ahead. I'm up to $525.50, meaning in less than a month I've saved up $125. It's good but not great; however, I don't regret it.
See, a good portion of the money I could have used for Step 2 has gone into Emergency Preparedness, specifically my 3 month food storage. There was a case lot/10 for $10 sale at a local grocery, and my roommate and I bought a decent amount of food. For the 3 month supply, it's supposed to be food you use every day, not long-term storage. It's for brief emergencies, such as being short on cash and the like. With this and a different grocery run at Winco, I'd say I've spent around $150 on food.
Yes it's a bit much for one person at once, but now I'm set for 3 months. Similar to how it was more important to get out of credit card debt first, it's more important for me to have food to live off of in case of an emergency. I'll have to keep refilling it as I go, but now I can focus more on Step 2.
