Why Emergency Funds are Important


Life may happen on the turn of a dime, but the unexpected can end up costing you much more than 10 cents. Having an emergency fund saved can make all the difference should something unanticipated happen. Whether it’s car repairs, a medical expense, appliance replacement, a plumbing emergency, etc., having some available money stashed away can alleviate some of the hassle in an already stressful situation.

Tucking money away every month into an interest-building savings account is a good way to accumulate your emergency fund. Even $25 to $50 a month can add up. Having six months’ worth of your expenses in reserve is ideal, but start with a smaller, more achievable goal like $500 to $1,000. Everyone deals with a surprise expense at some point — now is the time to start planning for the unexpected. The links below offer more tips on how to save for an emergency.
