Based on my post below, I do not have, on hand, $2000 that I could use in case of emergency. I am fortunate enough, however, that if I absolutely needed it, I have ways of getting the money. (Via family mostly, but I really dont like tapping into that unless it truly is an emergency.) I'm also extremely thankful for a couple folks that approached me to write some web apps (php/rails) for them. Without them those last few medical payments would have crushed us. My crappy situation came from double job troubles (gf and I) + dying car + hospital visits. We've stabilized finally and now it's time to get out of this hole and get my life back together.
