Have you ever used your emergency/rainy day fund?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes. After we adopted our daughter, we saved up to adopt another child (it’s flippin’ expensive). We even had our first meeting with the adoption agency. Unfortunately, my wife was laid off and then unemployed for two years. We ended up eating through that savings to survive until she got another job. It was a bunch of years later until we could save more money and a bit late to adopt again, so our daughter is an only child. She always says she wishes she had a sibling. My wife was laid off again when COVID lockdown happened. We ended up eating through about half of our savings because of that. She’s back to work now, so gotta save it back.
