    No 14, the Emergency fund thing, is completely arbitrary. I mean, I don't mind that it's only relevant for the US and other socially-backward countries, but who is defining such things and why did they pick on that length of time?

    Yeah, I thought that too, but there can be some shrinkage - we've all had that feeling of freshly-laundered Jeans being too tight until you've worn them a few times, haven't we? Yeah, it's more about them stretching but the wash can kinda 'undo' the stretch.

    Q4: you only need to try a jump-start if the engine is turning over slowly or not at all. There are myriad reasons that a car won't start that don't involve a low battery.

    I pushed the car down a hill and got the engine started, Thought the battery had given up (it was 12y old battery...) but was the starter.. 😸
