After your emergency fund is fully funded, you can save for certain items like furniture, car replacement, home maintenance,
or clothes, and your savings balance will grow. This sheet is designed to remind you that all of that money is committed to
something, not just a Hawaiian vacation on impulse because you are now "rich." Keep up with your breakdown of savings monthly
for one quarter at a time.

Emergency Fund (1) is your first $1000 (or $500 if your income is less than $20,000). After completing your debt snowball,
Emergency Fund (2) gets all of the savings until 3-6 months of expenses have been saved.
