Disclaimer: this is in no way intended to imply that all those on limited budgets are drinking classes, nor that they are irresponsible - I was on a limited budget myself when I first moved here. It is merely to indicate that a person on a limited budget with no emergency fund might have to seek the charity of others when an emergency comes along. And in this sense it can become a problem for others, as per Malibook's question. |
I also believe that a limited budget with an "Emergency" or "Rainy Day" fund is essential, just in case something happens.
I also believe that more questions on storing and securing emergency funds, procedures on registering with your local embassies, keeping US accounts active during your stay, health care, life insurance, home/renters insurance, etc... should be asked.
