Understanding Financial Emergencies
A financial emergency refers to an unexpected expense or situation that requires immediate attention and may disrupt your financial stability.
Emergency Fund
Matt Willer emphasizes the importance of building an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses. Ideally, your emergency fund should be sufficient to cover three to six months’ worth of living expenses.
Budgeting
Having a well-defined budget is essential for managing financial emergencies.
Matt Willer recommends creating a budget that accounts for essential expenses, such as housing, food, utilities, and transportation, as well as savings contributions.
Insurance Coverage
Insurance can provide valuable protection against financial emergencies. Matt Willer advises reviewing your insurance policies, including health, auto, home, and disability insurance, to ensure you have adequate coverage.
