What is an emergency fund?
An emergency fund is money set aside to cover unexpected expenses or financial emergencies, such as medical bills, car repairs, or job loss. It acts as a financial safety net, helping you avoid debt when life throws you a curveball.

The most important thing is to start. Aim to set aside a few hundred dollars as a starter emergency fund, then build toward three to six months’ worth of essential expenses. Even a small buffer can help you handle the unexpected expenses.
