Not keeping an emergency fund
Without an emergency safety net in place, it’s easy to break out the credit cards and ruin a well-thought-out budget if the car breaks down or the roof leaks. Having an emergency cushion of three to six months’ worth of expenses can keep your plan in place when unexpected events occur.

I FEEL IT IS OFFENSE WITH HOW THE GOVERNMENT POOLS ARE MONEY INTO THEIR POCKETS. THAT TO ME AND OTHERS IS FRAUD. WHEN A PARENT DIES THE PENSION, SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD GO TO THE ESTATE, NOT BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT IT’S OUR MONEY AND YOU KEEP USING OUR FUNDS TO POCKET AND GO ON VACATIONS. WHEN SOMEONE DIES WHO WAS COLLECTING SSI, THE GOVERNMENT STEALS THAT MONEY AND CLAIM WE ARE AT A LOST. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY THE GOVERNMENT gets SO MUCH MONEY OFR A JOB WHERE THEY ARE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE AND WE’RE THE ONES KEEPING THE COUNTRY STANDING BUT WE ARE SLOWLY GETTING POOR BY THE SEC. THE GOVERNMENT PAYS MILITARY LESS FOR A LIFE SERVING THIS COUNTRY ROBBERY I SAY. THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK, HOWEVER, THIS USA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HOW IT TREATS THE PEOPLE HERE LIKE SLAVES.
