Have you thought about where your money would come from if you happen to lose your job or have an unexpected home or car repair? An emergency fund, which is money set aside to cover an unforeseen expense, is crucial to everyone to have in the event of an emergency. An emergency fund should be the first investment to make before all others.
The first question people ask is, How much should be set aside in an emergency fund? The typical answer is this- save enough to cover at least three to six months worth of expenses in the event you cannot pay them. Saving more than this is of course ideal, but this should be the goal. The more money that you earn at the job you have now, the more you need to set aside, in the event you have to look for a new one.
The nest step is to sit down with your family and budget and figure out how much you can set aside each month. This may include looking towards ways you can cut back your expenses, so you can set aside that extra money for your fund. For example, brew your own coffee instead of spending three dollars a day at the local coffee shop, or pack your lunch for work instead of buying every day. Don't get overwhelmed right away. Set your goal to save for that first three months, and then work on adding more. Put the money in a money market fund, or somewhere that it can be easily accessed in an emergency. Talk to your bank or credit union about the best place to put your money. You can then rest assured that you have something to fall back on in the event of a disaster.
