Americans are starting 2016 with more job security, but most are still theoretically only one paycheck away from the street.
Approximately 63% of Americans have no emergency savings for
things such as a $1,000 emergency room visit or a $500 car repair,
according to a survey released Wednesday of 1,000 adults by personal
finance website Bankrate.com, up slightly from 62% last year. Faced with
an emergency, they say they would raise the money by reducing spending
elsewhere (23%), borrowing from family and/or friends (15%) or using
credit cards to bridge the gap (15%).
