Most respondents said theyd cope by dipping into savings,...ANNNND why do you have savings, if not for emergencies? I dip into mine when I want to go deep sea fishing. This January I will dip into my IRA to go deep sea fishing in Hawaii. What is the problem? If I wait longer, I might have a heart attack, stroke or lung cancer. Why not spend it now, while I’m able? Sheesh these people are stupid.
I dipped into my savings this year to go to Iceland, and in just 2 weeks I'm taking my father on a safari in South Africa. I save, but I'm not a fanatic about it.
Those commercials about retirement savings. Where everyone is dancing to Tequila, sky diving and surfing LOL
Have your fun now, but save some money to pay for some one to wipe your ass.
