| I love polls.
I am fortunate enough not to have ever had to choose.
But I chose Mortgage, Car & Electricity.
We pay for our insurance every half/year.
Credit cards would have to wait.
Nothing else really applies to us.

| I chose mortgage, electric and water/sewer (these would be included on our rates bill as would trash collection). Home insurance I would rate highly but the 3 I chose I thought were most essential.

| This is a tough one, so I actually did not know how to vote. I pray none of you ever find yourselves in this situation...very scary. For us it would really just have to be 4 if at all possible, (rent, electric, water and prescriptions).

| We are actually in this situation that is why is was so easy for to pick. We make sure the house gets paid every week. insurance is paid, gas in all vehicles, groceries and if any left split it between bills

| | I chose the utilities. We don't have a mortgage and I don't pay more on my credit card that I can afford to pay it off by the month. I don't have prescriptions or tuition. |
