I highly recommend checking out this blog for LOTS more info. Most hardships are resolved in 90 days....plain and simple. If you have a 3 month reserve (everyday food and supplies as well as financially), difficult times become a bit easier to handle and you can be more confident in yourself and your ability to care for your family. It can't hurt!
