Daily Preparedness Tip: Get $2000 As Fast As Possible

According to this article, 61% of Americans don't have enough savings to cover a $1000 emergency.  Needless to say that is not a good thing.  It isn't if but when you will have an emergency that will take a bit of cash to fix.  Apparently cash is in short supply for most Americans (according to this statistic) yet I see people everyday crowding Starbucks, shopping for clothes, throwing money on casino tables, and otherwise spending with abandon.  If you don't have a couple thousand dollars saved, make this your next goal to complete within the next month.  Have a garage sale, sell stuff online, sell blood, work extra hours...whatever it takes to put together a basic cash emergency fund which you won't spend on anything but an EMERGENCY.
