Create an emergency fund from "summary" of Manage Your Money Like a F*cking Grown-Up by Sam Beckbessinger

An emergency fund is like a financial safety net for when life decides to throw a curveball at you. It's the money you stash away for a rainy day, so you're not left high and dry when unexpected expenses come knocking on your door. Think of your emergency fund as your shield against financial disasters. Whether it's a sudden car repair, a medical emergency, or unexpected job loss, having a stash of cash set aside can help you weather the storm without having to resort to desperate measures like borrowing money or racking up credit card debt. The key to building an emergency fund is consistency. Start by setting a goal for how much you want to save – aim for at least three to six months' worth of living expenses. Then, make it a priority to regularly contribute to your fund, even if it's just a small amount each month. To make it easier to save, consider automating your contributions. Set up a recurring transfer from your checking account to your emergency fund so you don't have to think about it. Treat your emergency fund like any other bill – something you have to pay every month, no excuses. Remember, emergencies don't wait for the perfect time to strike. By having an emergency fund in place, you can face unexpected expenses with confidence, knowing that you have a financial cushion to fall back on. So, start building your emergency fund today, and give yourself the peace of mind that comes with being financially prepared for whatever life throws your way.
