Saving for the future – February

With the remodeling out of the way (for now at least), it’s good to see a month where all of our accounts have grown.

This month in Savings we were able to save our usual $500, plus an additional $186. We earned $7.59 in interest.

In our Vacation fund we saved our typical $200 and earned $1.30 in interest.

In our Emergency Fund socked away the normal $600, plus an additional $200. We earned $4.16 in interest.

We are looking forward to the day when we can have our Emergency Fund fully funded and our Savings rebuilt to a more than comfortable amount.

One of these days that will happen and hopefully we can start putting a little more in Vacation so that we could take the kids on better trips and replenish it faster for the next one.

Christy and I would really like to take the kids around the country and visit different national parks. Maybe even another country. But flying 7 people around the country or world, plus accommodations and meals, will not be cheap.

That is the one good thing that came out of Covid. We are trying to be responsible for our family’s health, so we haven’t really gone anywhere and are able to bank more money. If there is a bright side to this mess, that would be it.

Here are this months’ totals.
