Goal 2: Create an Emergency Fund

I realized much of my initial credit card debt would not have been incurred had I planned properly and had an emergency fund in place. I have recently opened up an account on ING Direct to save for travel, and think I will start my emergency fund through them as well. Since the money is not easily accessible, it will be out of sight and out of mind. I think an initial goal of $1000 dollars for my emergency fund will be a good starting point. It is enough to fly me home on short notice, to pay the car insurance deductible, to make a mortgage payment on my bf's townhouse, to get an apartment if needed, and to pay the medical insurance deductible in case anything major happens to me. Ideally, I would like to have more saved, but would prefer to get my debt paid off first.
