You said, "These spaces here..are mainly for support..your attitude .doesn't seem to be oriented towards that ." It might have seemed a bit of a cajole, but it is really meant well, people need to take simple and inexpensive steps to protect themselves from crisis. In the long run, savings will result, and stress will be lowered. Putting some cash/money/assets aside for an emergency, if it can't be months' worth at least the $500 or so that was mentioned most people don't have for an emergency. Emergency water and food, we are not talking a lot of money, the water part can be almost free, depending on where you get it and how you store it. Much of the other things just having extra of the things you always buy, a small stockpile, rotate the stock so that it never spoils, and you will be prepared. You won't have to worry that the cupboard will be bare or at least it would take more than one missed paycheck or one moderate emergency to empty your cupboard and put you in debt, debt you can't afford and need to be prepared to avoid. Are you saying that you don't have these things? Considering what else you have accomplished; this seems a no brainer for you. This would only be hard for someone how has to place to do it, homeless or couch surfing.

What do you mean by "these space here?" Medium is a blogging site for insightful commentary or humor and art. What do you mean by "mainly for support?"
