I was disappointed that you veered off from where you started this article! (Not that it wasn't a great article, of course.)

I got my exam at Sam's Club, and they were willing to measure my pupilariy distance and everything. I tried on some frames there too, to see what length of stems I needed. I bought a $12 pair first with anti-glare and the thinner lenses. They fit just right and looked good so I bought an $8 backup pair the next week. Besides the money saved, I hate having the fitting person so close to my face and telling me what I'm going to look good in. I'll be buying online only from now on.

I'm pretty sure that having an extra $35,000/year would be a "burden" I could handle.

But can find a financial adviser that can be handy. When it comes to personal financial problems I always rely on the experts. I had a similar problem in opening an <a href="http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/personal/savings/online-binus-saver" rel="nofollow">online saving</a> account which would have landed me in a big problem. Speak to someone professional. Cheers @chima, not really sure how it works in the states. But can find a financial adviser that can be handy.

I'm trying to decide on what to do with the $6500 my wife and I have in our emergency fund. Specifically, I'm trying to decide which makes more sense: paying off the $5500 line of credit and going back to building up the emergency fund, or continuing to build the emergency fund until March 2008, when we anticipate a tax refund of about $5000, which will be used to pay off the line of credit.
