Inspired Budget · #232: Used Your Emergency Fund? Here’s Your Next Step · 30 Oct 2025 podcast

Instead of seeing it that way, see it as a way to be proud and celebrate what you have set yourself up for.

You handled this unexpected expense exactly as you planned with your emergency fund.

Past you said something's going to happen and

something's going to come up.

And guess what?

Present you gets to say, hey, I was right.

I planned for this to happen.

I knew this would happen.

And now I'm going to use my emergency fund exactly as I said I would.

And the best part here is that if you have that emergency fund and you don't have to go into debt,

to cover an unexpected expense, that is a massive win that past you may not have been able to do and that hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of people right now in this current state cannot do.

The average American cannot afford a $400 unexpected expense.

So if you've set yourself up to be able to cover an unexpected expense, you're doing well.

This is a moment for you to say, I am proud of myself for having this money and savings so that way this problem, this expense that I am dealing with is more of an annoyance.

It's more of a headache and it is not something that's going to make me lose sleep at night because I have to max out a credit card to cover the payment of it.

I'll never forget years ago, my husband, he was mowing the lawn and just mowing the lawn, doing his thing, and he mowed over a rock.

And that rock went through the lawnmower and shot at an incredible speed up through the air and hit me.

our window above our front door, this huge glass window.

And I remember being here in my office.

I heard the rock hit the glass and you could just hear the outer pane slowly crack.
