I have written often about the importance of an emergency fund. We have an emergency fund, but after this crisis, we will likely need to replenish it and increase the amount that we keep.

Increase Family Emergency Fund to Six Months Salary. Start College Savings Accounts for our Girls. Our first decision is how much do we want to save for each of the girls and then we'll go from there. Currently, we have about 3 months salary saved, but we are self-employed and should have a six month security net.
