I have nothing original to say :-) Just: yes to the emergency fund, and also-yes to the computer--though you may decide to contribute more heavily to the emergency fund with the understanding that when the comp dies, that will be an emergency.
I have been flat broke (I mean, bills due and no $ to pay them), but never more than a post-dated check in debt... being able to assemble savings for emergencies made me feel so much safer.
