Episode 347:When Emergency Funds Run DryIf you have built up your emergency fund, nice work! If not, there is still time to do so.
However, what can you do if you need to use it and those funds run dry?
Shawn & George discuss an article written by Quentin Fottrell for MarketWatch.com titled "Living paycheck-to-paycheck has become the norm: Inflation takes its toll on American finances as emergency funds run dry." You can find the article here: 'Living paycheck-to-paycheck has become the norm': Inflation takes its toll on American finances as emergency funds run dry - MarketWatch
Some options:
- Don't take on too much debt (of course, if you could do that you would be able to avoid paycheck-to-paycheck; and
- Have people help you to get out of debt (whether by helping financially or even just giving advice).
We also discuss some signs that you might be nearing bankruptcy, and some ways to fight inflation.
As today's episode is released, Shawn will be speaking at his sons' elementary school for the Great American Teach-In, which means Thanksgiving is approaching. Be sure to check out next week's annual Thanksgiving episode!
