Liz Pulliam Weston at MSN has updated her article on $500 in the bank. It is the reason that I read MSN Money. So many people that are trying to build an emergency fund are intimidated by the traditional advice - to save six months of expenses for emergencies. The idea of putting away so much is daunting, so we don't bother to try. The better idea is to start by squirreling away $500. $500 will cover most of the unexpected expenses that derail our savings plans. Car repairs, A/C breaks down, the sweet potato that killed the garbage disposal...
Seriously, if you have been having trouble building your savings, please read this.
About Me
- Anne
- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
