Your Emergency Fund

Money set aside so a surprise doesn't become a crisis.

  • 1

    Start small — even $500 handles most first emergencies.

  • 2

    Work toward three to six months of essential expenses over time.

  • 3

    Keep it separate from spending money so it isn't accidentally used.
