[QUOTE="SRL, post: 197916, member: 701"] We don't have a lot of savings but we've kept our debts low. We made a big downpayment on our house and are halfway through our 15 year mortgage and we've just a little left on our van payments. Two weeks ago that sounded like we were doing well to be there but this week I sure wish I'd been more frugal and knocked more of that off. Yesterday I was across town doing errands so I stopped into the credit union to tranfer from savings to pay off the credit card balance. The teller told me "twenty eight seventeen" and I about had a heart attack right there, thinking my husband had gone ahead and ordered the windows we needed. Turned out the balance was $28.17. Whew! I also did go and fill all of the prescriptions we needed that had refills just in case there is a disruption. It was a killer on the checkbook balance but it's stuff we'll use no matter what and I'd rather be prudent than sorry. [/QUOTE]
