Balance and growing are definitely strong themes in my life. Also, I had some good news on the check engine light. At this point I think it was just an issue with the gas cap; maybe it wasn't on tight enough. I reseated the gas cap and the check engine light turned off. Quinn, Thanks for stopping by.

That's so liberating. Things do go wrong - cars are the worst for unexpected costs but there's always something that pops up so it's brilliant you have it covered. Have a fab holiday and don't eat too many cookies:) Well done for sorting out your finances. That’s so liberating.

We should never mind when people share the good with the bad, that is what connecting with others is all about and how we build community. Your story also shows how creating a plan (the emergency fund) and sticking with it creates rewards. This is something we know but it is always good to see it in action as well. .-= Quinn´s last blog ..<a href="http://qupfromtheashes.blogspot.com/2009/12/create-network-of-sport.html" rel="nofollow">Create a network of support</a> =-.

Everyone always seems to have a favorite, and we get so many different kinds. Even without any coordination, we rarely have duplicates. I guess in a way, it's a representation of the uniqueness in each of us. And rest assured, I sample each and every cookie. :) The cookie swap is great.

That is really something about following that emergency fund preparedness plan by David Ramsey, as I assume most who read it don't actually do it, and later question whey they didn't. The few that do can get some real advantages. That cookie swap idea sure sounds great. I would come and bring some type of cookie, and then eat one of each other type that other folks brought. There is good stuff out there if we try it. .-= Armen Shirvanian´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TimelessInformation/~3/qyr2F7BfiCY/" rel="nofollow">Sites To Mention 12-10-2009 Plus Podcast Plus Map</a> =-.

I really like that concept "Money is meant to be moved around, so it’ll come back to you in different forms." It's been long time since I've heard that idea mentioned, thanks for bringing it back to life. Henri, welcome to Eden Journal and thanks for commenting.

The emergency fund has been a life saver. It does take a lot of effort to put money away and not touch it for all the cool gizmos and gadgets out there. Having done it is sure going to pay off this week. An update on the A/C issue. It's good news and bad news, seeming to continue the theme. The compressor died, and luckily the part is covered under a 10 year warranty. Labor and the discharge and recharge of refrigerant isn't included though, and we're looking at about $800 for that. Better than $3000 for a new unit though, so we'll bite the bullet and get it fixed. Thanks Patty. The emergency fund has been a life saver.

Yes, I've been there. But it's so great how you end the story...you're a walking, talking role model for the wisdom of having an emergency fund. And the proof that it can be done. I know it takes work and effort to get there, so big high fives to you. .-= Patty @ Why Not Start Now?´s last blog ..<a href="http://whynotstartnow.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/a-cats-wisdom/" rel="nofollow">A Cat’s Wisdom</a> =-.
