The proverbial saying ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ is used by many a parent in denying some wished for item to their children. The trees are your investment accounts. You have to plant it, feed it, water it and care for it to make it grow big enough to notice. Put the holiday gift of cash into your account.

And with spring time comes spring cleaning, the chance to de-clutter your house, get rid of the belongings you no longer have use for and freshen up the old place.

Now that we’ve paid off six figures of non-mortgage debt , we are working on saving 6 months’ expenses and maybe even more.

Being self-employed, we have a higher starter fund on hand and when we pay off our non-mortgage debt, we will save to at least 6 months expenses and maybe even more. Remember this account is specifically for your emergency fund. It is NOT a spending account. We use an online account like, Capital One 360 (my referral link).
