An emergency fund is essential for unexpected expenses. Even with a low income, it’s possible to start building one.
- Set a Goal
Aim for at least $500 initially, then gradually increase to 3–6 months of expenses. - Start Small
Save a fixed small amount from each paycheck — consistency matters more than amount. - Automate Savings
Set up an automatic transfer to a separate savings account to make saving effortless. - Cut Unnecessary Expenses
Identify areas to save and redirect that money to your emergency fund. - Side Income
Use freelance work, part-time jobs, or selling items to boost your fund faster.
