Monday, December 21st, 2009Your First Number – You Have Pets
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Your First Number, your Emergency Fund, is the most basic one for your financial success, for too many reasons to list here (though I will return to this subject several times in the future). Your First Number may be different from mine… just like mine is different from the baseline I described in the linked article.

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Pookah-kitty sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry queen of the bush is she
Meow, Pookah-kitty! Meow, Pookah-kitty!
Gay your life must be!
Pookah-kitty sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the kuckaburras she can see
Stop, Pookah-kitty! Stop, Pookah-kitty!
Let those birdies be!
Pookah-kitty sits on a window sill
Getting all the sunshine as she will
Purr, Pookah-kitty! Purr, Pookah-kitty!
Glad you’re here with me!
Pookah-kitty sees the old man nap
Quietly cuddles up on his lap
Sleep, Pookah-kitty! Sleep, Pookah-kitty!
You’re sweet as can be!

Your mind works different from mine. Your life is different from mine. Feel free to modify these steps as you need, and as you learn. Your numbers may end up being higher or lower than what I’ve written about here. That’s OK, so long as you understand WHY they are higher or lower.

Now for the Fifth Number.
This is firmly in Pookah Finances 301. It is your long-term goal. This is the amount of post-tax income you need to maintain a debt-free, comfortable, meeting the first four numbers, lifestyle that can tolerate the expense of a heart attack or two.
