Emergency Fund – Raise Quick Cash
What would you do if you had $1500? Would you use the money for an emergency fund? Most people wouldn’t. This is not for you.
Having an emergency fund is one of your first steps in creating a financially stable life. $1500 may or may not sound like a lot of money. For some it is a HUGE hurdle when they are strapped for cash or deeply in debt. For some, it could be aquired right now! If you don’t have $1500 you have to figure out a way to get it. Why?

For most people $1500 is plenty of cash to cover costs for most unexpected costs, doctor visits, and car repairs. Plus, if you run into a jam and need to cover a bill you can use your emergency fund to pay it.
REMEMBER: the whole idea of having an emergency fund is to avoid taking out loans or using a credit card!
It is not as difficult as you may think to come up with $1500. Here are two things you can do right now to raise some quick cash:
1) Raid your closets, garage, and storage. There is no doubt in my mind you will find items to sell right off the bat. Get motivated and get to selling!
2) Read, watch, or listen to my free course Get Real Get Saving. The course will get you on track in no time.
Once you have $1500 stashed away start knocking out your debt and focus on saving 6-12 months worth of living expenses.
This stuff may be a rehash for some readers. Have you done it though? Do you still have an emergency fund? If not, get back to it!
$1500 stashed away can do wonders for your financial future.
REMEMBER: You can only succeed in the money game if you take action. That is what it is all about. Get your emergency fund started.
