Pre-coronavirus, I considered having 3 months of expenses saved in cash to be sufficient. Every night my first prayer is that this virus starts to mitigate, the curve flattens to a manageable level for our health care system, and lives are saved. Emergency Savings = Last Resort. Post-coronavirus, not so much!

How did you get interested in saving money? I learned to save money by watching my parents. (I I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.)

Necessary expenses could be: – Home: Mortgage/rent, utilities, insurance, taxes, necessary repairs. – Transportation: loan payments, fuel, insurance, service/repairs, necessary parking/tolls.
