Most of us don't have $1,000 for an emergency

If you suddenly needed cash, could you come up with $1,000? Gail Cunningham of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling tells MarketWatch Radio's Adrienne Mitchell that most Americans couldn't.

From here

I don't have speakers so I didn't hear the whole thing, but if it is true that's scary.

edit nm. While pathetic that's not really surprising.

Ill be honest and say it would be tough. Doable but tough. Im getting better about my saving as I get older but as someone who doesnt use credit cards, it would be tough.

[Wicked98Snake]

I know plenty of people who couldn't come up with 1,000 if their life depended on it. Luckily I like to save a little here and there so I would be good to go

I never understood why you don't see those places in highland park.

odd isn't it?

[Kyle]

Not surprised by this at all.

If you don't have 1000 in the bank that's kinda sad. I forget the percentage but a lot of people when they hit retirement age have less than 250 in the bank.

[lowthreeohz]

Wow.. i keep more than that in checking as a false zero.. and plenty more in savings, just for times like that. I can't imagine being out there without any safety net.

[Ruffdaddy]

Does 401K count? I didn't read the article...

[Silverback]

My parents are loaded, I'll just hit them up.

my savings account...

Jew Gold is gold contained in a small bag that is hung around every Jewish person's neck.

Every Jewish man and woman also carries a fake bag filled with rocks or other heavy items so it will be perceived as the real Jew gold.

Cartman almost succeeds in getting Kyle's bag of Jew Gold, ends up giving one bag to Cartman and thinking its not real but Kyle get another bag and throws his gold (could have been a fake bag instead of gold) into the fire, rather than let Cartman get it. This makes this the first time Cartman's bigotry had actually proved true.

On the official South Park website the creators have claimed that Matt Stone does not have any Jew Gold because he is technically only half-Jewish. Of course, this may just be what he wants everyone to think.
