Get a Second Job<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRemember, these are all temporary sacrifices to get you where you need to be financially. After you have emergency fund complete you can go back to your old way of living. But, who knows, you may end up loving your new financial routine and end up sticking with it.<\/p>\n
Make sure to keep your emergency fund in an easily accessible place. A traditional savings account is a good option. (Just don’t tie your savings account to your checking account. You don’t want to be tempted to spend the money you worked so hard to save.)<\/p>\n
Those are three good reasons to have an emergency fund. If you haven’t started saving for life’s emergencies you need to start NOW.<\/p>\n
There’s no better day than today to get started. Start small and work your way up until you hit your goal. Be sure to save enough money to make you feel safe and protected from whatever life throws your way.<\/p>\n
