How much emergency money do you keep?

8,038 649 March 25, 2011 at 07:56 PM in Question
Just wondering approximately how much cash people keep on hand in the event of an emergency…

not talking about the 20 behind your drivers liscense…


i am referring to the money burried in your sock drawer, under your mattress, in a box in the back yard etc..


they money you keep on hand for the earthquake, flood, riot, hurricane, etc…


I am refreshing my emergency supplies and just am not sure if I have enough cash on hand (yes I am making sure i have it in smaller bills so i can make change in the event others cant)

Oh, "your mom this" is just fine. But yeah to all the rest.


And the reason for celery is that it's great bait for trapping Zombies.

I'm really big on being prepared. I have enough medical supplies to treat the neighborhood. Have 2 large generators (the Honda is my baby) and maintain at least 60 gallons of drinking water at all times...etc etc etc

How do you store the water? I mean we have 5 gallon jugs but they're "in the way" I can't imagine 12 of them just sitting in a room with your other supplies. Unless they're half liter bottles.

p.s. i can't determine whether you really have this much supplies or you're just saying it.

Sweet. Can you send them this way as you finish them ? I figure that it's finally time to go ahead and get some book learning myself.

Aww, I'm sorry. hug

Have you checked really closely in the spice aisle lately ? That's where they snuck it in here. Just one row of jars amongst the hundreds of other spices.

She's kind of like toe jam. You don't really like it, but you smile when you find some Smilie
