Ep. 274 | Emergency Funds Explained: How Much You Need and How to Use It
Most financial stress doesn’t come from bad decisions; it comes from unexpected timing.
A car repair.
A medical bill.
A job change.
An emergency fund doesn’t prevent emergencies. It changes how you respond to them.
In this episode of The Financial Mirror, we walk through emergency funds from first principles - clearly, calmly, and without hype.
You’ll learn:
o What an emergency fund actually is (and why it’s not an investment)
o How much you realistically need based on expenses, not income
o The difference between a starter emergency fund and a fully funded one
o When it’s appropriate to use your emergency fund — and when it’s not
o Where emergency savings should be kept for safety and accessibility
o How much is “too much,” and what to do once your fund is complete
This episode is designed to reduce anxiety, increase clarity, and help you build a financial system that holds up under real life, not perfect conditions.
No promises.
No pressure.
Just practical financial understanding.
If you’re building long-term financial stability and want calm, grounded guidance, this episode is for you.
