There are times when you run out of money, such as when you have been laid off from a job. It is extremely important to be able to put your hands on cash. When that happens, it is important that you have a savings account. Of course you can borrow money, but when you are down and out, you must pay extremely high interest. Savings accounts help you when you really need money. While most people do not, everyone should have a savings account with six month's salary for major emergencies. People who worked at the Pontiac factory who lost their jobs, would still lose their houses but would have the money to move and get reestablished.
