Archived Webinar Now Available: "Coming Up with Cash in a Pinch: Emergency Savings and its Alternatives"
Join CFS Affiliate, J. Michael Collins presented on a recent paper looking into emergency savings. Emergency savings serves as a form of insurance against non-routine expenditures such as medical bills or car repair. Collin's paper investigates 80 articles about savings and households' ability to access cash quickly to meet unexpected expenses. In his presentation, "Coming Up with Cash in a Pinch: Emergency Savings and its Alternatives," Collins highlighted some of the conclusions the articles arrived at, one being that lower-income and minority households are less prepared to handle short-term demands for cash. Discussants for the webinar, Pamela Chan of New America and Mae Watson Grote of The Financial Clinic offered their in-the-field expertise. To access the archived webinar click on the link below.
