Well, I met my goal last month with my own money for my $1,000 emergency savings and my FIL gifted each of us $1,000 for Christmas.
I decided that in my Capital One 360 savings accounts needed to be fully funded.
Car insurance (due in March) = 500.00 (added 242.55 to meet goal) Deposits from my paycheck will be toward September's payment.
Gym annual fee (due in October) = 175.00 (added 118.95) I can cut this deposit in half since the next fee is due in October 2018.
CCW Club Dues and Extras (due in July) = $60.00 (added 53.80)
DS Guardianship and Senior Year = 500.00 (added 406.28) The "fully funded" goal is actually the rock bottom amount I needed. I am sure I will need more.
I will still contribute from my paycheck but I feel secure in knowing that these funds are set aside for the near future.
In the meantime, I still have the $1,000 rock bottom for emergencies.
My hopes are that in 2017, I can be a savings rock star like the rest of you superstars!

Do you have an employer sponsored retirement plan? Are there any matching contributions?
