The survey asked the following question: "If you were to face a $2,000 unexpected expense in the next month, how would you get the funds you need?". 24.9% of respondents said they would certainly be able to come up with the money. 46.5% either said they would be unable to or have to resort to extreme measures to come up with the funds.
