@bostonglobe: Would you be able to afford a $400 emergency expense right now? More than a third of families in Massachusetts don’t have enough money on hand to cover that, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston show. Among Black and Latino families, two-thirds can’t afford that unexpected cost. We spoke to Massachusetts residents about what it would mean for them. Read more about the study at the link in our bio.

I don't know any emergency that could potentially cost 400$. 3-4k would be what i consider an emergency expense.
