Comments on: In Case of Emergency, Cut Here http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/11/30/101934_in-case-of-emergency-cut-here.html Bridging the gap between saving money and investing Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:35:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: A Marino http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/11/30/101934_in-case-of-emergency-cut-here.html#comment-169723 A Marino Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:46:45 +0000 http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/11/30/101934_in-case-of-emergency-cut-here.html#comment-169723 I have several senarios of what I would do if I had different situations come up. I think that one always has to look long term. Depending upon your situation would determine what would be cut from your list. If you were out of work, you might have to increase your job hunting expenses which would include higher gas costs, possibly lunch, new clothes, toll or parking money. If one is out of work because of illness, it might not be a great idea to get rid of your cable. Often TV distracts the recovering person from his pain and other emotional problems. You might not want to cut out a child's birthday even if it's just a small gift or celebration. As you said, each person has to have their own plan of action and no planning is a plan to fail. Many women are devastated at the death of their spouse if they have had little to do with the finances. Thank you for your post.
