Step One: Setup $1,000 emergency fund

Per Dave's Baby Steps plan, step one is set aside $1,000 in an emergency fund and DO NOT TOUCH IT. To fund this I have put my snowmobile trailer up for sale (sold the snowmobile two years ago) and plan to use the proceeds from my current eBay auctions to fund this step. I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1999, it is about time I used those skills to put that income to use.
