Set it up to where it's automatic.
And tip number five is to use windfalls to your advantage.
You might get a Christmas bonus, a tax refund, a quarterly bonus, maybe gift money.
Anytime that you get money, then use that money to help rebuild your emergency fund.
Just yesterday, I got sent $38.36 of
for a Facebook consumer privacy user profile litigation settlement.
So I received $38.36 in a settlement lawsuit sent straight to my Venmo.
Love it.
And if I were working to rebuild my emergency fund right now, I would send that $38.36 straight to my savings.
So windfalls don't have to be
a large amount of money.
It could be any money that you're getting that you did not expect or don't use in your monthly budget normally.
Okay, so now that we've covered the practical ways to rebuild your emergency fund, let's talk about the emotional side of it.
When Rachel emailed me, she said that she wants me to cover how to handle the emotional side of starting over.
It seems that she has used her emergency fund, and she said that losing that progress feels really discouraging.
Money is not just math.
If money was math, no one would struggle with money.
No one would struggle with debt.
Fifth graders can do math.
Fifth graders could technically write a budget, manage their money.
