I had a car accident recently, and because we had a $1000 emergency fund we were able to pay cash to get the car fixed at a local body shop that only took cash (but charged like 500 dollars less than everyone else).

And the ATM is out of money or you don't have any cash credit left on your ATM or Visa card? I try to always have $500 in cash easily available. Well hidden, of course :) There are really small fireproof boxes available for such a thing - I don't know if the freezing it in the freezer is really fireproof or not, so don't want to try it.

The problem was, it took like a week to get the money deposited after writing and sending the check, so we still would have been left without a car for all that time. So, yea, I am very glad he talked me into keeping the cash around :) I used the checks once before (we bought our car, which is now paid off, with a balance transfer check).

Not a good way to go, so glad he talked you into the cash fund :) Now you’re glad you have that emergency fund :)
