![]() "Chuck" wrote in message m... Well, what if my transmission falls out of my truck or the engine blows? Both could be a reality with my truck since it has almost 200,000 miles on it. In this case, I would have to "spend money that I don't have". We do not have public transportation here to speak of and I work night shift anyways. Don't think that I could afford $40 for a cab every day... What about when the A/C goes out in the house? (This is one of the times that I am glad that I rent) Refrigerator goes out? Chuck, someday, hopefully, you'll get in the position of a set aside or reserve for those contingencies. Just as I suspect a number of folks here have. I'll bet more than one lurker is applying all this verbosity to themselves. How does the saying go? "....you are not alone...." Maybe you could start by putting away $20 a month, even if you have to cut back on something to do it. Take offense if you want, but unless you have the fortitude to leave that tiny fund alone, go get someone to help. Help in this case by you setting up an account that requires two signatures for withdrawal. If you go to church, ask your pastor, for example. In any case it has to be someone you can't bully into caving in. Relatives and pals are poor choices. The agreement you set with them is that the money is for legitimate emergencies, only. If you lie to beat the setup, you shouldn't cry about it. $20 doesn't sound like much, but you have to start somewhere. You have the misfortune at this point of opening yourself the the world with all the stuff you've presented. I think the thread was opened by somebody else. You've just become a focus. |
