Emergency Fund

What’s an emergency fund, and why is it important?

An emergency fund is money set aside for unexpected expenses

Major injury, sickness, or anything that could leave you jobless 🤕

An emergency fund is the cost of living for 1 month multiplied by 3 to 6

So, it gives you 3 to 6 months of savings to support yourself!

Having an emergency fund can help prevent you from going into debt 🦺

Emergency funds can be set aside in a savings account that you can easily withdraw from 🤑

So if it costs you $100 a month to live, then you should have at least $300 to $600 in a savings account 🤯

Before you start investing or making any large purchase, make sure you have an emergency fund 🥳

This way, you can ensure you're never investing more than you can afford to lose 🦺
