It’s the last day of America Saves Week, and while we’re sorry to see it go, we’re so grateful for all the participation from our partners and friends in personal finance, and savers like you!
An emergency savings fund consists of a small amount of money, usually in a savings account, that you do not have easy access to. Saving for this fund starts with small, regularly scheduled contributions that build up over time. Creating and maintaining an emergency fund can mean the difference between staying afloat when life catches you by surprise, finding yourself swimming in debt, or worse. We want to make sure that you’re covered for emergencies when life happens–not if it happens. There’s no time like the present to start an emergency savings fund – don’t get caught in the rain.
