One day, everything is going fine. The next, your car breaks down, your hours get cut at work, or a surprise medical bill lands in your mailbox. When money is tight, an unexpected expense can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? There are steps you can take to stay calm, get control, and get through a financial emergency with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog will walk you through what to do before, during, and after a money crisis\u2014plus offer tips to help you be better prepared for the next time life throws you a curveball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-financial-emergencies-that-can-happen-any-day\">Common Financial Emergencies That Can Happen Any Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unexpected expenses come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few examples of emergencies that can cause financial stress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A car that suddenly won\u2019t start<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A trip to the emergency room<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A broken appliance that needs replacing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A paycheck that\u2019s delayed or missed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A high utility bill that\u2019s more than expected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An unexpected childcare or school-related cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rent or mortgage that\u2019s due and you\u2019re short on cash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re facing any of these\u2014or something similar\u2014you\u2019re not alone. Many people live paycheck to paycheck and don\u2019t have enough saved for a surprise expense. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to know what to do when a financial emergency strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-before-a-financial-emergency\">What to Do Before a Financial Emergency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to handle an emergency is to plan for it\u2014before it happens. Here\u2019s how you can get ready now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-build-a-small-emergency-fund\">Build a Small Emergency Fund<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/resources\/wiki\/emergency-fund\/\">Building an emergency fund<\/a> can start small. Start with even a few dollars a week. Over time, this can grow into a helpful cushion for when the unexpected pops up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-track-your-expenses\">Track Your Expenses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Know what your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/resources\/wiki\/household-expenses\/\">monthly bills and spending<\/a> look like. That way, you can see what\u2019s essential and what you might be able to cut during tough times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-separate-needs-vs-wants\">Separate Needs vs. Wants<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a list of your must-pay items\u2014like housing, food, and utilities. This helps you focus on the most important bills first when money is tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reign-in-expenses\">Reign in Expenses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re in any emergency situation, your \u201csurvival mode\u201d might kick in, causing your main focus to become maintaining the basics like shelter, food, and clothing. So, we look to extraneous bills that can be cut in order to free up funds to handle the financial emergencies. If you spend the time to determine exactly how much you need each day, week, and month to go towards paying your bill, you have a much clearer idea of what bills can be cut to balance it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few suggestions to lowering your expenses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Defer payments:<\/strong> Are there any bills that can be safely deferred for a short period of time? Think car payments, student loan payments, or even credit cards. Contact your lenders to see if they\u2019re willing to help; sometimes they\u2019ll offer to let you skip a payment and free up the cash to go towards your emergency. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drop Unnecessary Bills:<\/strong> Having a nice dinner out may be a necessary relief from the mundane every now and then. But with some households <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\/average-household-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spending up to $10,000 a year<\/a>&nbsp;eating out, it can quickly become a burdensome habit. Free up funds from unnecessary purchases to help you make your payments. It may take some adjusting, but remember, the sooner you can pay this off, the faster you can get back to normal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Creative with Purchases: <\/strong>While you\u2019re at the grocery store buying more food than normal because you\u2019re committing to eating in, you can still save even more money. Several websites can help you with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coupons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">savings on groceries<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everyday services<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-find-emergency-cash-resources\">Find Emergency Cash Resources<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In some situations, your financial emergency calls for immediate emergency cash. In those cases, you do have multiple options available, even if you have a low credit score. Some of those options include getting a title loan, installment loan or payday loan with LendNation. It\u2019s quick, easy, and confidential &#8211; and in many states, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/MyAccount\/#!\/registration\">apply online<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/location\/search\">in-store<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry: LendNation is dedicated to supporting customers by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taking precautions<\/a>&nbsp;to prioritize your health in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LendNation has options for you to manage your loan from the comfort of your home if you can&#8217;t, or do not wish to, visit a store. Visit www.lendnation.com to access your account 24\/7 to check your account balance, make a payment, refinance or extend your current loan, or apply for a new loan depending on which state you live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, the application takes only a few minutes, and depending on where you live and what you qualify for, you can get loans from $50-$10,000. In some cases, a short-term loan can actually be cheaper than a cash advance from your credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other ways to make quick cash include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sell your valuables.<\/strong> If you own something of value, you may be able to sell it quickly to a person or specialty store near you. Remember, though, the faster you need the funds, the less you\u2019ll get for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Talk to friends or family. <\/strong>When in a financial crisis, most of us report that our family becomes our safety net, helping us through the crisis. Make a list of friends or family who might be willing and able to help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact local charities. <\/strong>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycrashers.com\/get-emergency-financial-assistance-help-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several nonprofits and charities<\/a>&nbsp;throughout the country that might be able to help you through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two important things to remember as you\u2019re going through this situation. Remember that there is a way out and don\u2019t be so hard on yourself! Life happens to everyone and beating yourself up about it won\u2019t help anyone, especially you. Take small steps to get to the other side of financial emergencies &#8211; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/\">LendNation<\/a> stands ready to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<aside
