What are great tips to staying true to keeping and separating emergency funds from savings?
To begin with, you can cut your everyday expenses and set aside the cash you save this way for your emergency fund. Simple approaches that will enable you chop down your everyday expenses are limiting the number of times you eat outside, buying groceries in bulk, using AC only when absolutely required and cutting down luxurious costs. An effective way to increase your emergency fund is to increase your income. You could begin a side hustle, work overtime, and work on weekends to earn extra money. This will enable your rainy day account to grow rapidly.
You could set apart a set amount from each paycheck and deposit it into a separate account. An even better way to do it would be to set up an account and have a set portion of your check direct deposited into that account. Doing that helps resist the temptation of “I’ll do it next month”. You will learn to live on the cash you have. Slowly but surely you will build up to an effective fund. Experts believe that your emergency fund should equal 3 months salary.
