Taken out of context, that doesn't mean a lot. How much time did they have to raise the $400? Were they allowed to draw on their credit?
I think if you dig into it deeper, you'll find that statistic covers a lot of different situations. Certainly if you ask some homeless person living under a bridge to come up with 400 bucks, they'll think you're crazy. But there are a lot of middle-class folks who live paycheck to paycheck, even if they have a steady job. If an emergency comes along, they plunk down the credit card.
