For the sake of continuity, I stole this quote from this thread. Off-topic to that thread and on topic to this one.

I wish you would have said this from the start. What a lot of people are doing is spending all of their money and relying on credit when things get tough. Not a good idea.

What I've also heard of is people not having an emergency fund but having substantial investment funds. Credit cards have a grace period, in which you could withdraw what you need from your investments to cover the emergency. In that sense, it works.
