Ask for help before it becomes a crisis

If you find yourself approaching a financial cliff and don’t have an emergency fund to fall back on, start looking for options before the cash runs out.

There’s no shame in asking the people who love you for a little help when you need it most. If they have the means to help you, they might be able to do so... and this is usually the best option for interest-free payments.
