Then January I'm funding another $10,000 to it, along with $5,000 to Roth and $3,000 to HSA, all on January 2nd. That's a plan and I have just finished a week at the job that will fund all this, and it's going well so let's hope it goes exactly as i've planned. hmm basically my first week each month pays my expenses, and the other three fund this scheme.

All 5 of those points applied directly to me once I started budgeting. I would make purchase decisions based solely off of what was in my bank account, not what I could afford. Making a budget was a real eye opener. Looking forward to this series. All 5 of those points applied directly to me once I started budgeting.
