Val,
I call that problem "When it rains, it pours."
My wife and I are looking at new homes, but I am scared to death that one of our cars will die right after we buy a new home. My Taurus is almost 10 years old with 177,000 on it and her Sonata is 6 years old with 117,000 on it. Generally, I can keep cars running for a long time, but not if they blow a ring or throw a rod. At that point, I toss them.
Yes, sometimes in life, things seem like they are really bad. However, once you get through them, everything looks great. Thing is, without any money saved, it would have made it just that much harder for you to have gotten through what you did get through. Imagine having all that happen and having nothing saved for a RAINY day. Again, when it rains, it usually pours.
