A new report is raising concerns about financial stability across the country. Nearly 40% of Americans reportedly have less than $500 in cash savings, according to a recent survey.

Experts say this trend highlights how quickly unexpected emergencies could impact millions of people who don’t have enough savings to fall back on.
