I manage to destroy a cellphone about once a year. It doesn't help that I handle my phone so much and that I'm a klutz. If I don't have the money in my checking account, I know I'll tap my emergency fund to replace it. It's not a huge expense and many would say it's not even a necessity. I'd agree, but I know me. I'd hate to compromise the integrity of my emergency fund by tapping into it for something I pretty much expect. @FFB – Yep. I manage to destroy a cellphone about once a year.

A sinking fund is for things you know are wearing away and will have to be replaced eventually. Is that about right?
