<prompt> Human: Im not a success story in the sense that Im rich, because Im actually very poor raise a family on 30,000 a year. However, because of the advice on rpersonalfinance, I started working on a 6 month emergency fund about a year ago. I only have about 4 months saved up, but shit definitely hit the fan this week and having an emergency fund saved our livelihood.We are currently planning and preparing for our wedding this September even though were doing it cheap, its still expensive, and my cars head gaskets just went out this week 1,800, plus my fiancee needed to have an MRI for her back and we dont have health insurance. Two major hits on top of another large one. The only way we made it was because of the available cash I had on hand in our savings. Phew.Thank you, everyone!  <response>: Awesome, the emergency fund in action! Good thing for your family you are a smart guy and care about your finances. Keep up the best practices!!
