<prompt> Human: I just figured the all-in cost to attend my best friends funeral. Obviously, not attending is NOT AN OPTION. Airfare for two: 500 Hotels: 2 nights 105night 210 Car rental: 3 days 30day90Food for two while out of town: 75Memorial wreath, because no one else is sending flowers: 200-300. All in cost: 1,075-1,175, depending on what flowers I pick. Im so glad I have this emergency money. I cant imagine not being able to attend the funeral, or having to go into debt over it. This is why we have emergency funds, people. Edit: just to clarify, this barely puts a dent in my emergency fund. Im just glad I have it cause Id had a bad financial month already- very costly car repair, and a vet emergency with our dog. So it felt like I was hemorrhaging money already. Normally I wouldnt have dipped into emergency savings, but its been a real bad month. Also, part of it is that I dont just have enough to get there, I can still blow as much as I want on a wreath.  <response>: Sorry for your loss, but thanks for the reality check.Ive always thought about busted pipes, vehicles breaking down, medical stuffs, etc., but never anything like this.I hope everything else goes as well as possible, given the situation.
