Income isn’t predictable and stable. Shifts are hard to come by, a spouse may have lost a job, you might have needed to help out a family member, and you might have missed out on income due to catching COVID. Imagine a world where you have so much liquidity in reserves that no matter what happens to your income, you’re insulated and you have flexibility in determining your next financial move.

In this episode, we discuss the right emergency fund for you, what are the appropriate types of emergency funds, and what aren’t. It’s all about finding your balance.
