Be Ready for the Unexpected with Emergency Savings

Life doesn’t always go as planned. From surprise car repairs to unexpected medical bills, emergencies can pop up at any time. The good news? You don’t have to let them derail your finances.

That’s why building an emergency savings fund is so important. While experts suggest saving up to six months of expenses, that goal can feel overwhelming. Let’s start small—just $500. That’s less than $10 a week over the course of a year.

You’ve got this—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
