Life can be unpredictable and stressful at times, especially when it comes to your finances. All it takes is an unexpected bill and BOOM, your savings are completely wiped out.
This is why I ALWAYS suggested having an Emergency fund. An Emergency Fund is is a stash of cash set aside in case you lose your job, unexpected medical bills or if your health affects your ability to work.
Check out my blog post: What is An Emergency Fund (The Fuck You Fund) & The Do's and Don'ts.... #Part1 for more details.
In a Federal Survey, 44% of people said that they would need to borrow money or sell something to cover a $400 emergency expense.
To determine individuals’ preparedness for a smaller scale financial disruption, respondents are asked how they would pay for a hypothetical emergency expense that would cost $400. This amount reflects the type of expense that one may experience from an unexpected car repair, appliance replacement, or medical bill. Just over half (56 percent) report that they could fairly easily handle such an expense, paying for it entirely using cash, money currently in their checking/savings account, or on a credit card that they would pay in full at their next statement (collectively referred to here as “cash or its functional equivalent”). The remaining 44 percent indicate that such an expense would be more challenging to handle and that they either could not pay the expense or would borrow or sell something to do so
The solution to this is to have an Emergency Fund.
So before you take out a high interest credit cards/loans or start pawning off your belongings, why not consider starting a side hustle. START NOW, before things get nasty and your back is to the wall.
