Building an emergency fund is a key part of good financial planning. Cash savings should be set aside in a bank account to cover unplanned expenses and provide you with enough funds to pay for unexpected costs. This book shows you how to do that.

Money that is not spent on day-to-day living expenses can be put into the emergency fund, and financial experts recommend having 3-6 months' worth of income stored as liquid assets. This gives you peace of mind that if you are faced with an unexpected bill or expense, you will have the money available to cover it.

Regularly putting money into your emergency fund will also help protect your finances from any fluctuations in income or job loss. Having a healthy emergency fund helps give security against any unforeseen circumstances and ensure that your finances are always taken care of.
