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. We reduced our spending where we could, but the money to pay any shortfall each month came from our emergency fund. It kept me up at night.

Instead, you may want to check out thrift stores or buy classic, high-quality items that will last longer. Emergencies do happen, so it's essential to have a savings cushion to fall back on when unexpected expenses pop up. Automating your savings towards an emergency fund makes this process easier and less painful.

While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store. Save a starter Home Emergency Fund.

Being self-employed, we felt we needed more than Dave’s recommended $1000 starter emergency fund that he outlines in his book, so our first step was to save a bit more for our home and office. This list became our personal Debt Freedom Plan. To be honest, our first step in our plan wasn’t even paying off debt.

Choose Thrift First. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. And if forgetting about it isn’t an option, only then will I step foot into a store to purchase it.
