    Moving forward, do you think you will save up more in an emergency fund than you did previously?

      I would say yes, but I am drowning in debt now. Always a month behind which brings late fees which makes things harder to keep up on.

      Also, pg&e burnt the town next to us entirely down (today is the anniversary!) and their solution to dealing with all the lawsuits, was to raise everyones utility bills. My bill was $50 to $100 before the fire. Last month it was $400. I haven’t been running heat or AC and the app says my energy usage is consistent for my home size.

      It’s expensive to be poor.
