I feel that's why the flowchart says up to $1000 (I'd personally discard one month of expenses). But you're also right that it allows you to manage your money without risking quite a bit of fees.

I also agree with you on the cancelling your bills part. I'd even push it further as a cellphone can be replaced (with free voip apps like fongo/textnow) and you can use your library/local mcdonald's internet if your really in a terrible spot.

Yes I think you’re right. I think I’ve come halfway and softened on my criticisms of this flowchart somewhat.

I suppose I also think that, from a graphic design standpoint, it’s overly visually complex. I might try my hand at something more straightforward.

Au fait, j’aime bien ton nom d’utilisateur. Il correspond bien à cette communauté.

I agree, I also find it very complicated. I'm working on an updated version for this community, but I realise it's quite hard to nail, both in term of content and of design.

Merci pour le commentaire. J'avais créé ce pseudo spécifiquement pour r/personalfinancecanada, puis c'est devenu mon identité principale sur reddit.
