I recently read an article by nationally known financial guru Jean Chatsky. She suggested a few things that make a real difference in setting up an emergency cash fund and building financial preparedness.
Jean noted that times are tough. Americans are saving very little. So what can YOU do to bring financial preparedness into your life? She suggests controlling the things you CAN control. Here are a few of her suggestions:

A survey was taken a while back of 666 random participants in relation to emergency preparedness. As you look over the survey results below, decide where YOU stand in relation to your family emergency plan:
Are you completely prepared? 13% (85 votes) = I know how to evacuate my home and office and I can access essential financial information. I can camp out for three days, maybe more, if I have to.
Are you somewhat or partially prepared? 28% (186 votes) = I know what to do at the moment disaster strikes (earthquake/tornado/fire/hurricane), but I know I’ll wish I’d prepared better.
Are you working on a plan?17% (116 votes) = I know what to do, but I still need to get it done.
Plan, what plan? = 42% (279 votes) NEARLY 1/2!!!
I fall into the somewhat prepared group. I attended a wonderful class at BYU’s education week a month ago in my hometown of Provo, UT.
The class was taught by a fireman in Utah Valley, Tal Ehlers, who was very experienced with Emergency Preparedness. He talked about the need for a family emergency plan. He suggested a few things that might be of help to you as you consider pulling together the items necessary for survival. The unusual supplies he suggested that I had not considered as part of a Family Emergency Plan included:

School is in session once again. Statistics show that an organized student out-performs others with the same capabilities. Typically this happens by watching the adults in his/her life.
As a former teacher and informed parent I did all I could to make sure my children were well rounded and enjoying their school experiences. I visited their classrooms often and let the teachers know I was watching & interested in what they were teaching my children. I valued those teachers who shared their best with my children (nearly all of them) and these good teachers KNEW they were valued!
My guest on The Organized Woman Show this week was RaDawn Pack. A master teacher of 24 years. Below are some valuable links and downloads for your child’s success in school. I have organized them with my 4 E’s: Read more…
