I like most of what goes on here too, not all of course. But it would make me nervous if I were on a site where I liked everything. (Well, unless it were strictly dedicated to chocolate.)

Lex, thanks for the numbers. (I like numbers.) But in this case, I don't know the implication of the numbers.
It does seem to me that maintaining a year of expenses all the time would be the most secure and allow for the most flexibility on the part of Greebo and/or those who are helping keep the operation going. If there were always a year of expenses in the bank/on the books that covers about 12 months of regular expenses, or, for example, equipment or software upgrades plus less than 12 months of expenses (at which point - let us know so we can replenish!) But I wouldn't object to a year of expenses at all times plus a reserve for equipment or software upgrades. At least that's my input FWIW.
Anyway - let us know.

I would be happy to make a donation as well.

Getting debt free
I'm in. Last time I was late and they'd already stopped accepting money because we more than enough donations. This time I want to be at the front of the line.
Mortgage $0.00
Moving to BS3. My car loan is at 2.25%, and my high-yield savings account pays 5.15% It doesn't make sense to pay off the car early.
BS3: $5530
BS2: Car loan $8502.25/$17,724.29

Notice how no one paid attention to you? They just started giving.
Thanks for all you do, Lex. (And the other mods, and of course Greebo, the MIA.)
DFF means a lot to me. Happy New Year to all of us.
Sometimes you just have to do what feels right with your money instead of what is "optimal". Too many focus on optimal outcomes, when good enough is good enough. (Thanks to Retired @ 50)
