Re: Emergency savings
Why we prep I suppose to deal with the ebb and flow of lifes challenges ,build up supplies and cash when we can .This allows us to deal with the unexpected and not get caught out and be less reliant on others . Yip I save a bit but then last week suspension went on the motor and 200 quid down.
