It took me 12 years to save up a 10K emergency fund… but only 1 day to spend it.

Sump pump failed at my house. Leak detector battery was dead. 6 inches of water in my basement. Completely my fault. New sump pump installed. Water-powered backup sump pump added with its own independent drain line. Bought three new dehumidifiers. Paid a flood restoration company to clean up the basement to prevent mold. FML. 🤦 EDIT: thank you for all the kind comments. I am truly grateful that I did have the money available.
