If you’re a regular listener, you know we waste no chance to warn people about the need to have an emergency fund, ideally 3 to 6 months living expenses. But what if you can’t get to that money? So does your emergency need an emergency fund? That would be money you actually have on hand and not in a bank. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore answer that question. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

-When choosing a health plan, should you choose one with a high premium but a lower deductible? Or the other way around?

-Why do the top three credit rating bureaus have different ratings for an individual?

-What’s the best way to consolidate my credit payments?

-I’m getting bills from a cable company I don’t use. I’ve called them, but I can’t seem to convince them that I don’t use their service.

-I called Equifax to report what I thought was a fraudulent credit card in my name. I’ve since discovered that it was my card. Should I call them back to cancel the fraud alert?
