We also didn’t feel comfortable with Dave’s suggestion of a $1000 starter emergency fund, which is his step #1.

Our emergency fund. I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive.

Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan. We will apply half of our debt snowball amount to the home equity loan and it should be paid off by October 2017. Our goal is still debt freedom. Pay off our home equity loan, using the snowball method by October 2017.
