What Is Emergency Fund? Knows The Way To Have Them Prepared

The emergency fund is a savings set aside for use in times of need. It is best to use this fund only when desperate for money. It is only to meet the needs and not the wants. One example of use during an emergency is if you or a close person, such as a family member, needs to be admitted to the hospital.

You also definitely need a fund in case you suddenly lose your source of income. The probability of that happening is higher in 2023 when the world economy experiences a recession. The question now is, have you prepared it?
