Dear Employment Services: thank you. finally. February 8, 2008
Posted by gmbmfb in : EI, emergency fund , trackbackOMG, I just checked Employment Services online, and I’M GETTING PAID OUT FOR MY EI!!! I can’t believe it! Finally, 10.5 weeks later, I’m getting a grand total of $2,681 deposited into my bank account on Monday. That’s amazing.
I have some charges to pay off on my credit card from the past few weeks due to the move to Vancouver, but the rest of it is going straight back into the EF. I would imagine I’d be back around the $2k mark with the EF after it’s all said and done. Right now I’m down to around $200 (which is pretty darn scary to know that I’ve basically used up my entire EF) b/c I had to pay a $300 deposit & $600 for my 1st month of rent.
I know, I should really update the sidebars. I just haven’t had time to sit down for a few hours and really dig through my finances and get them up-to-date. This weekend is a no-go because BF and I are going back to the island. I’m thinking next week I’ll be able to get it done. I’ll have to block off a few hours after work one evening, and get my hands dirty. I really need to get this done, because I’m starting to hide from my finances again.
