Although I have only broken even with my Week 2 results, some event made me a bit sluggish again in making up for the losses.

After a two-day vacation, I splurged a bit again using my monthly splurge allowance which prevented me from dipping into my emergency fund savings.

However, because of the vacation, I wasn’t able to accomplish lots of additional income-generating activities such as the paid reviews that I planned on making the best out of so I can contribute more to my emergency fund. But I was able to work on two more reviews before I went on vacay. Another good thing’s that I was also able to receive the payout from one of the other blog monetization services I’m using - Text Link Ads. Here’s the sweet check: $29.12.

So here are the figures for the 3rd week results of this Double My Emergency Fund challenge:

Target = $500

Windfall = $36 (no change)

ReviewMe = $40 (+$15)

Temp Blogging = $45 (no change)

Text-Link-Ads = $29.12

Balance = $349.88 (-$44.12)
