[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my budget, I have a category called NRUE (Non-recurring unexpected expenses)- I put 5-10% of my take home in there. Over the years it has been critical to me being able to afford those unexpected expenses- although taxes should not be unexpected- those are fairly easily predicted. [/quote] I do something similar but I call it the "oh shit" fund. As in - oh shit I need a root canal. Oh shit, pipe burst in the laundry room. Oh shit I got a flat tire and turns out I need to replace all four. Oh shit, well you get it. [/quote]
