An emergency fund is NOT a spending account. Please don’t confuse this money with vacation money or new furniture money. Your wants and dreams are secondary and should be saved separately. Unemployment and reduced income are considered emergencies, and so is a leaking roof, a broken hot water heater, or a dead car battery.

Don’t confuse this money with vacation money or new furniture money.

Create a separate savings account and call it your Emergency Fund. Be diligent about how you use this account.
