Your Financial Safety Net
An emergency fund is money set aside for life’s unexpected moments—like job loss, medical bills, or urgent repairs. It helps you stay financially stable and avoid debt when surprises strike.
Emergency Funds Are for Everyone
Whether you’re a student, a parent, or planning for retirement, an emergency fund is essential. It’s a key part of your financial foundation—no matter your age, income, or goals.
Know Your Unknowns
There are two types of financial unknowns:
- Known Unknowns (irregular but expected—car repairs, pet care)
- Unknown Unknowns (truly unpredictable—job loss, medical emergencies)
An emergency fund helps protect you from the unexpected.
Keep It Accessible—But Separate
A high interest savings account with no monthly fees is ideal. It keeps your money safe, growing, and ready when you need it—without tempting you to spend it.
