Hello,
As an self-employed person with a disability I know, first hand, just how important a "rainy day" fund (a savings account used for emergencies) can be. They can literally be a life saver if a financial catastrope happens in your life. I was curious as to how many of you either have an existing "rainy day" fund or are contemplating starting one?

I wish we could afford it! Instead, we have thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills.

Before I got married, I did not worry about it. Now I want her to be protected. My health is fairly stable right now, but last year I almost bought the farm. I am very expensive to keep alive... i need care 24/7. I am lucky to have a good job, and I have tried to put what I can into investments. The sad thing is, that I am worth more dead than alive.
I kinda think I am worth more dead than alive too, sometimes. But to answer the original question, I do have a rainy day fund and it seems like I may need to tap into it soon. I hope not, though.
Use to before I became disabled, now everything goes to medical bills as I have no insurance.
