Why An Emergency Fund Should Be A Financial Priority

We break down why an emergency fund can be a key part of financial planning, how large it should be, and how to start building it up.

It Can Help Keep You From Going Into Debt

Preventing debt is one of the most important reasons to have an emergency fund.

It Can Provide Peace Of Mind

Being prepared with an emergency fund, on the other hand, can give you a sense of confidence that you can tackle any of life’s unexpected events without experiencing financial hardship.

It Can Help You Ride Out A Period Of Unemployment

Starting an emergency fund also gives you the freedom to leave a job you dislike by choice, without having to secure a new job first.

It Can Help You Make Better Spending Decisions

Keeping the money out of your immediate reach can make you less likely to spend it on a whim, no matter how much you’d like to.

How Much In My Emergency Fund Should I Have?

The size of your emergency fund will depend on your income and expenses, but a common rule of thumb is to have enough money to cover three to six months of living expenses.
