I heart May – 3 pay cheques! :)

So today was pay day, and I updated my sidebars and my NetworthIQ.

I put my car in my NetworthIQ. I went and looked at the Kelley Blue Book “Suggested Retail Value” with the car in good condition (in Blaine, WA – closest US city to me). Then I took that value and converted it from $US to $CAD. With the exchange rate, it makes the value a lot higher than I paid for it. But, I think I did that right. Perhaps I should just put the value back down to what I paid for it ($3,000)? But they were asking $3,400. I’ll have to figure this one out. Part of me doesn’t even want to list my vehicle, but it’s worth something, so I figure I should include it.

Also as you can tell, I took quite a bit of money out of my Emergency Fund (approx. $1,200) to cover the car crash expenses. I also used some of it to cover the insurance for my car. So my EF sits at about $1,800 right now. I want to get it back up to $3,000 ASAP, but I also know that $1,800 represents more than 3 months of bare-bones living expenses for me now that I’m moving in with BF. So I don’t need to stress out about it.
