back to the concept of keeping some cash on hand, this winter a coworker that recently bought a house was worried he wasn't going to be able to shovel himself out with all the snow and it was too late to get a snow blower or plow contract. I told him just flag down a plow guy--any plow guy--and wave some cash in his face and you'll get your driveway plowed. He thought that was ingenious and went to the atm right way to take out $200. A few days after a big storm he tells me he was able to shovel enough to get his car out but thought the cash on-the-spot concept was a great idea. Then at lunch he was putting the cash back in the bank [facepalm] ! I was beside myself, "did i teach you nothing?" As a homeowner you should always have at least $200 in 20s handy.
nothing gets stuff done like cash.
