I received my second paycheck from the temporary job. The goal is dump as much as we can into savings to build up our emergency fund. After taxes were taken out, I received $719.17 for take home pay. Out of this paycheck, 76% or $550 will be go towards savings. I just created another automatic transfer to ensure it gets done. If I even wait, I can sometimes come up with excuses with the cash.
A portion of the money is being redirected towards my savings for his anniversary gift. Not saying what it is, but I will start calling places in the next few weeks to update prices on it.
