$1,000 used to be an emergency fund.


now it’s a car repair.
or two months of groceries.
or one ER visit after insurance.
or a plane ticket home for a funeral.
we didn’t get poorer.
everything around us just got more expensive than $1,000 can fix.
and they’re still out here telling us to save more.
