Emergency Funds: How Much Cash Should You Really Keep?

An emergency fund explained in plain English: what counts as an emergency, how much to save, and where to keep the money.
- Emergency funds defined: cash set aside for true surprises (car breakdown, furnace failure, job loss), not vacations or sales
- The 3-to-6-months-of-expenses rule, based on expenses not income
- Choosing 3 vs 6 months: stable dual-income household vs self-employed, variable income, or sole earner
- Where to keep it: high-yield savings account, separate from checking, insured, with automatic transfers
- Build in layers: one-thousand-dollar starter cushion, then one month, three months, six months of expenses
- Once the fund is full, redirect the savings habit to retirement or debt payoff; homework: calculate real monthly expenses and start an automatic transfer
