Is it possible to have too many sinking funds? I planned for everything back to school, Christmas, birthdays, Thanksgiving and every holiday in between. My total deposit is about $125 a pay day. But I'm wondering if I really need that many

I would say keep it up for the year and when the holidays or event comes up and you don't use them then scratch that sinking fund out and roll your $ to another sinking fund or into savings or make an additional cc payment

I’m a nurse so my job is secure right now and I don’t have to worry about paying my student loan bill this month (thank god) but because my federal student loan provider is offering to defer payment penalty free for the time being, would it make sense to do so?
