Your phone breaks, the scooter needs repairs, or work slows down for a month. Now what?

That is what an emergency fund is for. It is money set aside only for surprises, never for holidays or sales.

A common guideline is enough to cover three to six months of your basic expenses.

That sounds like a lot, so start small. Even a little every week adds up faster than you think.

Keep it separate from your everyday spending money, somewhere safe and easy to reach.

When the next surprise comes, you pay for it calmly, without borrowing. Then you fill the fund back up.

   Payoff: calm resolution and replenishment

   When the next surprise comes, you pay for it calmly, without borrowing. Then you fill the fund back up.
