We decided to skip fixing the hail damage on the car. Country Insurance was fantastic. Once I called them the adjuster was out in a couple of days to look at the damage. They fairly compensated me and I had a check within one week of my first phone call. Absolutely no complaints there.
Upon receiving the check we deposited it in the emergency fund and we are back on track to complete the emergency fund by the end of the year. If you recall we are shooting for 6 months of living expenses as our goal. The previous auto, oven, and ac repairs took a little bite out of it but, now we are back just about where we left off. The car doesn't look too bad. If I continue to put off washing it no one will ever notice :)!
It is certainly not a BMW or something nice like that. It's just a Yaris and with the way I am doing miles now, it won't be worth much by this time next year anyways! On the other hand, a fully funded emergency fund at the end of the year translates into a happy wife! Who can put a price on that?
