Building Your Emergency Fund Like a Pro

Emergencies aren’t a matter of if, but when. And when they come, you’ll either be prepared… or you’ll be panicked.

The Purpose of Emergency Funds

This isn’t extra money. It’s life defense money. Medical bills, job loss, car repairs — these things will happen. Having 3–6 months of expenses set aside protects your assets and your peace of mind.

Where to Store It

• High-yield savings account

• Money market account

• Laddered CD's

  • All of these are liquid, insured (up to FDIC limits), and won’t tank with the stock market.

  
  

How to Fund It

Start small. $500. Then $1,000. Then 1 month’s expenses. Progress is what matters.
