I already used my bonus money to fix my car

What a joke for me. Yesterday I was so exciting about I will get paid bonus from last year on Friday morning. So, I will have extra for my saving. On Friday morning, my car broke down, and I have to spend some $500 for it to get it fixed. Oh my god, all my bonus money just used to fix it, and I felt so depressed. That was an irony isn't it? I never expect that bonus money gone so soon!

That is life, my friend. It seems that you weren't meant to save that money after all! Maybe your car was due for a good fixup? Everything happens for a reason, even though we are not satisfied with something... Everything straightens out in due time, so just be patient and let everything flow naturally!

I really hope so, and I really want to see to some good luck come out of it. I just felt too much financial strain lately, and I just want to shout it out loud. Too much of financial issue with me lately.

That is why you should make a savings account and put 10% of your earnings in that account just for emergencies so lets say you only make 800/month, you can put 80/month into that savings account within a year you will have 960 dollars available for any emergencies that arise. After you receive your bonus every year it can go towards RRSP or investment accounts.

I do have a saving account myself, actually, two saving account. I intend to keep my savings intact, and I intend not to touch it. I want to have some backup money whenever I feel the need of it for emergency or whatever reason might come up. I indeed have my 10% earning moving toward to my saving account.
