Long time lurker here. I’m a college student with little to no money. After reading through this sub, I decided to start an emergency fund with what little I had left over each month (I have a part time job that helps out). After months of saving, I got it up to $500. Not a lot, I know, but a lot of work for how little I make.
Long story short, my dog got sick unexpectedly and I had a $300 bill from the vet handed to me at the end of the visit. Though it still stings a hell of a lot, I know my pup wouldn’t have survived without the treatment, and I’m not going to be late on any bills this month because of it.
If anyone needs a reason to start an emergency fund, here you go. Even if it’s only a couple hundred dollars, its worth it.
Edit: Not that it matters too much, but I’m a woman
