My emergency fund saved me from a $900 car repair last Tuesday.

The alternator went out on my Honda in the grocery store parking lot. I had been putting $75 a week into a savings account for about four months. It felt pointless until I could pay the bill without touching my normal checking account. Has anyone else had a small, regular savings habit pay off in a big way?

Ever think about the interest you saved?

Interest I saved" is a fun way to put it. Mostly I just think about the extra pizza I could buy. That's a better kind of math.
