Welcome to episode #191 of the Debt Free Dad Podcast. A recent survey conducted by SecureSave from August of 2023 shows that 63% of workers are unable to pay a $500 emergency expense with cash. The people surveyed said they would turn to friends, family, credit cards or their employer for help. Even 64% of those making $100,000 indicate they are dealing with financial stress. An article from CNBC that featured this survey, indicates that inflation and the fact that covid money is running out may be to blame for these numbers, but is that really the problem? We are going to get into all of this on today's show.

What You'll Learn

• Many people don't save for emergencies because they fail to create a financial
  plan that includes an emergency fund. Without a clear plan, it's easy to overlook
  the importance of saving for unexpected expenses.
• Many prioritize short-term spending and immediate gratification over long-term financial security. Discover some strategies to prevent this to start building your ER fund!
• For some, income, inflation, and debt levels could be to blame. Listen to get
  motivated to tackle your debt and financial stress once and for all.
