Sometimes we have money struggles or emergencies.  Different things can cause a money crisis.  It can be health problems, no work, or bad budgeting.  If we don’t have extra money saved and something bad happens, we will not have enough money for the things we need.

It is important to evaluate the crisis.  How much money do you need?  When do you need it?  Then, you need to look at your budget to prioritize your expenses.  Where can you save money?  It is important to know what to do to fix money problems.  It is also important to have or get some extra money when you need it.  Evaluating these things can help you find a solution to a money crisis.
