What I thought would be a routine maintenance fix on a flat tire turned into an expensive morning. While changing a flat, my car fell of a jack and damaged the rotor and misalligned the axle. I took the car to a tire shop and found that I was in desperate need of new tires on all four wheels. What I thought would be a $150 fix turned into close to $700. A year ago, I would have been freaking out over this. After another financial issue, however, I had a little over $1500 stashed away for emergencies like this. What turned out to be a major cost barely made me blink. Emergency funds can really help with relieving financial stress. I'm also hoping insurance will help pay as well.
