    Gurl, I heard you talk about this in yesterday’s video. I went in this morning to find out how much I need to live in case of emergency. I am so glad you brought it up and I am budgeting different in 2024. Thanks, this is a great tip to add to the top 10 tips on budgeting.

    My goal for 2024 is to save at least 3 months worth of paychecks (without bonuses or OT). I calculated/included student loan payments and a buffer (by rounding all the numbers up to the nearest $10).
    In the future, I'd like to have a "rainy day" fund and then my "month ahead". The rainy day fund is really the back up for my sinking funds just in case. Gotta have a backup for the backup. 😂😂😂😂

    This is one of my budget goals for 2024, to start saving for months ahead but had no idea how to start. This one was very helpful and the pushed I needed.

    Watching your video reminded me that I already have 6 month of my expenses sitting in my money market account. Thanks for the reminded, now I need to work on growing that to a 1 to 3 years.

    Hey girl, hey! Very nice. I definitely have to have 6+ months, just to be extra. Haha Yeah, plus I have to have other sinking funds. This grown up life ain’t no joke 😳.

    Hey girl hey! It's interesting how words can get people twisted up, the bottom line is call it what you want just save that money for when "Just-in Case" cames for a visit. I like that my savings account allows buckets/goals to help organize my "emergency" funds. I have a category for car, home, and life. They are all savings for emergencies. I set my savings goal based on income instead of expenses, made the calculations easier. Thanks for your faithfulness in posting - looking forward to your Vlog channel taking off. ❤

    I used my monthly bills as a goal for my savings so that I have a numerical goal but I think, as I save, my 3 months worth of bills is what I’m wanting for my emergency fund and then I’m slowly trying to get a month ahead in my bills to be able to pay those all a month in advance. But then my emergency fund I don’t plan to actually pay my bills ahead with….idk if that makes sense lol but it was fun watching you plan and sort out what your monthly bills roughly are. Thanks for sharing, sis 🙌🏽🥂

    Your emergency fund should include mortgage or rent and should really be bare bones what you need to get by.

    Girl Your initial emergency fund calculations shd include the exact monthly payments for your mortgage/ rent, food, light bill, insurance and gas ⛽️ for car ONLY…not all those extra stuff..😂 so these calculations aren’t realistic for you …you didn’t even include the most important thing your mortgage..
