Starting to put money back for my expected expenses was the best thing I've done for myself. Started with property tax, and added the other categories that you list above plus vet expense. This tip and the three months of 'e fund' have made my financial life a LOT less troubled. I keep my fund in a mid yield savings account that is linked to my checking. I don't really care so much about the interest. I just want it safe and quickly accessible. It's escrow, not investment. Heck yeah.

My wife and I use this for Christmas, car insurance, and now for some upcoming orthodontics work my kids are scheduled to have.
