I don't know if it is really necessary for everyone. If you have good credit, banks and credit cards will be more than happy to loan money. On the other hand, if an emergency fund makes people feel more secure, then it is probably a great idea. Everyone makes such a big deal about an emergency fund.

The 90% rule is another one of those things that I strongly believe in but have a difficult time following it. How have you used it in your own life?

It can be kind of unnerving when you get into an accident. I completely agree with the 90% rule (although my wife has to remind me all too often to follow it myself). Having that emergency stash put away definitely helps takes a lot of the stress away from that kind of situation. Glad to hear you are okay, and all in all–not too bad on the damage.
