[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't think I know anyone personally who couldn't pay $400 or even 2k for an emergency like the writer. And DH and I come from middle class families with blue collar or middle class jobs. Maybe our younger, early 20s sisters couldn't cope with emergencies, but they're just starting out and graduating.

Are you young and inexperienced or just a simpleton?  Life does not go along a straight line.

I went to college, graduate school, got laid off from a Fortune 500, unemployed for over a year.  Found a job and got laid off after less than a year and did contract jobs in the past year for 6 months.  I've been living off my savings in between the long-term unemployment,  so I cannot move-up from a townhouse to a single family house, because I'm spending my down payment.  [/quote]
