## Resource

Lucas and Luna walk through the real numbers behind a car accident that leaves you without a vehicle, using the example of a moderate collision with $8,200 in out-of-pocket costs before insurance pays out. They break down the gap between medical co-pays, towing, rental coverage shortfall, and lost wages from missed work — and why a standard three-month emergency fund isn't enough if you haven't stress-tested against a multi-week recovery. The episode includes a practical checklist for calculating your own 'car accident stress test' and a reminder that listener support keeps the show ad-free at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. #EmergencyFund #CarAccident #AutoInsurance #FinancialCushion #PersonalFinance #UnexpectedExpenses #MedicalBills #Deductible #LostWages #RentalCar #Towing #Recovery #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CashReserves #FinancialPlanning #EmergencyPreparedness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
