CREATE AN EMERGENCY FUND
By having a safety net of cash for emergency expenses, it will allow you to make urgent payments for anything unexpected like a car repair or fixing a leak. Palmer recommends having at least six months of savings accumulated in a bank account so that if (god forbid) a sudden job loss occurred, you can still live comfortably. Even better, try budgeting for the year rather than each individual month’s estimates.
