i saw it mentioned before but defiantly have an emergency fund. im 27 and broke 5 vertebrae's this fall and was off work for 3 months and 1 week. i have insurance but the short term disability part made it clear you cant count on anyone or anything to help you. they took almost 2 months to send me any money. luckily i keep 6 months of house payments in my savings. so it wasnt a worry but you cant count on any one but yourself these days it seems. grocerys i just put on my credit card which isnt probably a recomended thing to do but im not the best with money. thats why im reading this. but shit happens be ready for it. side note though i went to tech school and have my journymen card in tool and die so i make good money now. 7 years ago i was at $10 now im over $30 by a bit. i did 2 years of school all day and work part time at night. its a grind but it pays off.
