Personally, I think a starter fund should be $2000-$3000. If you are self-employed, work for a company or in an industry that is unstable, or maybe you or someone in your family has medical issues, you might want to save 6-12 months of expenses. Remember this account is specifically for your emergency fund.

Create a separate savings account and call it your Emergency Fund. Be diligent about how you use this account. It might be best to use an account that isn’t linked to an ATM card, thus making it somewhat annoying to reach the funds, but not difficult when you do actually need them. Where Should the Money Go?

That emergency fund saved our business, our sanity, and our marriage. By the end of 2007, our business picked up again–thankfully–but not before we practically wiped out our savings with only $2000 left to spare, not enough to get us through one more month. Be diligent about how you use this account.

The new monthly payment would have left us ‘insurance poor’ On top of that bombshell discovery, we realized the insurance plans that were being offered to us were NOT compatible with a health savings account, a tax deductible savings vehicle offered to those with high deductible health plans.
