I keep a diguised stash attached to my keys. Enough for an emergency taxi or to pay for a bed in the hotel opposite my former workpace or (twice now) avoid embarrassment at the checkout when i forget my wallet :oops:

And one very boring but useful prep in these times is an emergency cash fund. Even if you are broke and only able to stash a quid a week it helps if the unexpected crops up. If you can stash five or ten percent of your income in a separate account/bank you will soon be on the way to having the ability to go a month with no income (or if your usual bank's IT blows up and you cant get to your money) .
Good that! Right now we are aiming - got to - at a similar situation to yourself. ;)
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.
