    You asked about the worst thing that can happen, not just a bad or irritating thing.
    Don't get dramatic or overstate what you mean when you ask a question. That is just silly.

    I am curious how much those washing and drying machines per load ( I am not familiar because I stay home on weekends)

    Usually around 3 bucks each for the washer and dryer.

    And saving 3 bucks on the dryer at the expense of laying all that laundry out all over the inside of the truck to air dry for hours?
    No thanks, I am not that poor or cheap or desperate.

    As a company employee, never let the fuel tanks get below 1/2, in the event the company suddenly ceased operations, no matter where you are, 1/2 tank of fuel will get you to any reasonable sized community. You don’t want to be in Bum Creek Nowhere, with near empty fuel tanks.

    If you cant pack a lot of cash. You should have at least $100.00 cash. This is emergency fund, so no spending it. Pre-paid visa cards are good idea.

    I read an article about some movie producer years back. He would only wear pants once when they were brand new. Then throw em away.
