It’s very important to keep some assets
easily accessible, or “liquid,” in case of emergency,
such as an unexpected expense or being unable to work due to illness
or accident. Experts recommend having an emergency fund equal to
three to six months’ worth of expenses. If you don’t
have that much cash saved in liquid accounts (checking, savings,
money markets), make it a priority to save until you do. One of
the best ways to build savings is to “pay yourself first.”
In other words, put a certain amount of each paycheck into a savings
account, even if it’s only $10 or $20, right away.
