This is tongue in cheek right? They raise your credit limit and you know waant to take out a cash advance, pay to haveyour scooter repaired and buy gas ?!?!?! This is a recipe for 5000 more in debt and nothing to show for it. A thousand dollar cash advance is not an emergency fund. The whole point of an emergency fund is that you save it to prevent yourself from using the credit cards. Get a budget, get current on your bills, and start paying your sister back from the money you are making. Oh yeah, and get a budget. Budget. Its important. No cash advance. If you don't have enough after your bills to save an emergency fund, you don't have enough to pay off the cash advance! Is this a joke? This is tongue in cheek right?

I know ;) ). You just started a new job and you want to make sure that shakes out before you do anything drastic. And throw a tiny bit of extra love to your sis. Brothers are an annoying breed ;) Okay, first off, I don’t trust Capital One as far as I can throw them. :)
