So, when “unpleasant surprises” arise, like a car repair or medical bill, you’re confident that you have enough money set aside to cover these.

For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations. But, I can’t believe people are making big bucks telling other people how to control their spendthrift ways, or sharing how to shave a few cents off a grocery bill.
