Maggie, My bank account is currently in the negatives, IE I owe money. My debit card would not pay for a 1 cent piece of candy much less a $30 up front cost to the local clinic. I'll be able to pay for it in 4 days. But if I had to take my kid to the doctors today I would have to go to the emergency room if I had to pay the $30 up front. Simply because I don't have it at this point in time. I could certainly pay it in 4 days. But today is not 4 days from now.
Then you really do need to manage your money better. Jesus. If you don't have a $30 emergency fund, that's just pathetic.
