Can we talk about the emergency fund for a second — without the shame spiral?
You've probably heard you need three to six months of expenses saved.
That's a great goal. It's also a terrible starting line, because it makes saving $25 feel pointless.
It's not. $25 a week is $1,300 in a year.
That's a car repair that doesn't go on a credit card. That's a flat tire that doesn't ruin your month.
Start where you are. Automate a small amount, even $10 a paycheck, into a separate account you don't see every day. Then forget about it and let it quietly do its job.
What's one small amount you could start with this week?
