An emergency fund for one

You're your own backup plan.

4 min read

Without a partner's income to lean on, an emergency fund matters even more.

How

  • Start with a small first goal, like one month of rent
  • Build toward three to six months of essential costs
  • Keep it in a separate savings account
  • Refill it after you use it
