What I’m going to do with my Travel Fund

Well, BF is just one step away from getting that work-related opportunity, so in light of this situation, I’ve decided how I’m going to split up the $5,000 in my Travel Fund.

• $1,000 – Travel Fund. Fully funded, this account will hold $3,000. Maybe even $5,000. All of my immediate travel has been paid for. I think next year I might be doing a bit of traveling – Mexico with the family, a possible hiking/kayaking trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands, and J and I were discussing going on a trip … maybe San Francisco, or NYC?

• $1,000 – Emergency Fund. Fully funded, this account will hold $5,000 at least for the next 3 years. If our situation changes and we end up buying a house, or we are in a position where we have to move, I will definitely think about putting more $ towards the EF. But for right now, $5k represents 6 months of living expenses for me.

• $3,000 – pay off LASIK eye surgery. That way I won’t have to touch my Savings Fund.
