Baby Step 3- saving 3-6 months of household expenses for a fully funded emergency fund.
All your debt is paid off except your house and there’s some breathing room. This step is crucial for your overall financial wellness.
For example: if your household expenses(including mortgage payment) are $2k/month.....that means your goal would be to save roughly $6k-$12k. Work this baby step with the same intensity as Baby Step 2.
This emergency fund gives you security. Knowing that when life does happen, you are fully capable of cash flowing an emergency.......like if your vehicle breaks down, your washer or dryer go out, unexpected doctor visits, your family suddenly needs you and you have to travel.
With the FF emergency fund, it becomes more of an inconvenience than an emergency🚨. There’s peace a peace in your family and in your heart and you don’t have to worry about where the 💵💵 will come from. You’ve worked so hard to get to this point and now it’s time to breathe a little bit! ☺️
