In general its a little worrisome that the budget leaves no breathing room if the economy has a dramatic slowdown...but otherwise there is not a lot too exciting. Not a ton of spending for a change, and the savings account looks like a decent enough idea.

It's a semi-fata, in that the budget wasn't in the title of the thread, but instead of of the main components of it.

I didn't look at that thread before posting obviously. I suppose the two should be merged. I made it so long...but I guess I have my first fata!
