More than one-quarter of U.S. renters in a survey are not confident they could cover a $400 emergency

And here's little 'ol me starting month 6 of living completely off of savings I built in 1.5 years at only 9$ an hour. Theoretically I don't have to work again until April, but I'll be back at it once I reach my lifting goals and finish writing my first book. February is the self imposed deadline.

Beyond actual savings, It is amazing how little credit people have.

Spend, spend, spend! Savings for an emergency? That's for pessimists! O shit, I'm fired! O shit, I can't find another job!! O shit, the landlord won't wait a month for the rent!!! O shit, I'm homeless!!!! WAAAAAH! Boohoo! Somebody help me!
