Cushion Against Chaos a 90day Rescue Plan

Most of us know that sick feeling-the bill you didn't expect, the job that disappears overnight, the car that breaks down when you're already stretched thin. One surprise, and suddenly you're scrambling. I've been there.

In the fall of 2019, a single email ended my job. My savings were nearly gone, rent was due, and I had no backup. That moment was terrifying, but it also became the push I needed. I didn't rebuild with some complicated financial scheme. I started small: automatic transfers, round-ups, canceling forgotten subscriptions, packing lunches instead of buying them. Bit by bit, the balance grew. Within 90 days, I had a cushion-enough to cover real emergencies without panic or debt.

This book is the plan I wish I'd had back then. It's not about getting rich or living like a monk. It's about building a starter cushion-$1,000, $1,500, maybe $2,000-in three months, even if money feels tight. You'll find practical steps, simple worksheets, and real stories (including my own mess-ups) to keep you motivated. You'll learn how to spot hidden leaks in your spending, set up savings that run on autopilot, and even team up with friends or family so you don't have to do it alone.

The goal isn't perfection. It's peace of mind. It's sleeping better, arguing less about money, and knowing you've got your own back when life throws a punch. If you've ever felt one crisis away from disaster, this is your roadmap to feeling safe again.
