<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

The short of it is I need(ed) to spend about $2100 on 2 days notice. I feel so "lucky" that I've been maintaining an emergency fund of 2 months income for nearly a decade. When I was extremely poor (food stamps, rotating bills to pay late), the idea of an emergency fund was unimaginable. Now that I'm making a steady income, saving away $200-$300 every month in addition to a fairly substantial entertainment budget ($400) and a retirement plan ($500), being able to take this hit and realize it just means I'll be shifting my savings for a bit and not having to compromise on my lifestyle is a huge relief.
<bot>: I actually maintained an emergency fund and it's making a potentially life-altering financial situation into a mildly stressful event.
