Let’s face it; we’ve all been there. I’ve made some dumb moves financially and I’m sure you regret a decision or two that involved money.

We had just about reached our goal when……BAM….we had to dip into the fund to pay for an expense. We’ve since repaid the emergency fund, but I really don’t like the idea of dipping into it again.
