15 Quick Tips to Create a Fund for Emergencies
SELL YOUR CAR
No-car households are at an all time high for a reason. The cost of car payments, maintenance, insurance, gas and other auto expenses make owning a car nearly impossible. City folk can easily take their esca-legs around town, but rural citizens have it a little harder. Luckily, in the age of ridesharing, it has never been easier to go car-less.
“STAYCATION”
Itching for some vacation, but reluctant to break into the piggy bank? Consider some affordable indulgence with a staycation — a vacation near your home. Experience all the luxury of a vacation without the cost of travel. Some people go as far as booking a hotel within driving distance of their homes just to emulate the feeling of a vacation.
CUT THE CORD
Most people spend around $103 a month on cable. This doesn’t even include the various streaming services most people subscribe to. Thanks to the robust back catalog and great original content from streaming services, there is less reason than ever to keep cable. Think about using al-la-carte entertainment, pick the streaming services you want, and ditch the rest.
