Physical Emergency Preparedness. Getting ready for an emergency on the physical level is a good first start. It’s a good idea to gather your emergency supplies so that you are physically able to deal with an emergency when it strikes. You can augment with other emergency sources as well.

See if you can identify with any of these statements: I spend more than I earn I don’t have a household budget I use credit cards all the time to buy everyday essentials like food, gas, transport. Also include an emergency fund and contributions to a retirement account, even if just small amounts at first. Deal with it.

Since I take public transportation, I put about 2,500 miles a year on it, if that. Every time something like this happens (which, let's be honest, isn't all that often - the car is pretty reliable usually) I start to fantasize about buying a used Toyota and just dealing with the $150 a month payments. Bad, bad, bad.

– Transportation: loan payments, fuel, insurance, service/repairs, necessary parking/tolls. If they are, you can consider putting the extra funds into an emergency fund, pay off a credit card, or save for another financial goal. This is not a once and done deal. What a great problem to have, right?!?!
