Emergency Fund.

[bigpaul]

is there anyone like me who keeps an emergency cash fund on hand, in case power goes down and the card readers and ATM's dont work, in this case anybody with cash to hand will be king! or am i the only one??

We have a few quid laying around plus gold what we did was went to auctions and brought jewelery cheap last count we had about 3 oz of gold rings and neckless's. By the way we only payed a few quid each for the items.

No you're not the only one. I've got ££ & $$ & silver/gold.

I keep meaning to do this. But I imagine it wouldnt be more that about £200 at present as Im only just starting out as it were. I think I;d like to have about £1000 and an assortment of fags and booze to trade too.

Ameribros I chat to have gold, silver and stuff like cigars (as well as ammo obviously)

BP, I keep a minimum of £100 for emergencies. I often have more than this but I need so many preps that I have to spend it. But there is always the £100 pounds which I do not touch. I also have money in the Building Society account £700. Kenneth Eames.

I keep £100 in each bag I have; GHB, BOB, EDC. Then I keep another £100 in the car.

Unfortunately, January 2012 has proven to be the most expensive January in my life, and those funds have greatly dwindled. But they will be back up to full power shortly.

I HATE being poor!!!

You seem to have missed the main part of the reply.

I always stash some away on Friday (payday) but normally there's some disaster or other and it gets spent. Should be able to build up to a couple of hundred stashed away over the next 3 weeks though (if the missus doesn't find it first)
