Five Minute Finance

The Joker Fund


Listen Later

In today's episode, Mike Morton and Matt Robison introduce a revolutionary solution to alleviate financial anxiety: the Joker Fund. Inspired by the infamous line from The Dark Knight, "Nobody panics when things go according to plan," they emphasize the importance of planning ahead to tackle irregular expenses that often leave individuals feeling financially overwhelmed. With statistics showing that 76% of U.S. adults experience financial anxiety, it's clear people need relief.

The Joker Fund turns unexpected expenses into anticipated by automating savings for things like insurance payments, tuition bills, summer camps and even vacations; things you know you will spend money on but don’t make it into any monthly budget because the timing varies. Get a step-by-step guide on implementing the Joker Fund, from identifying irregular expenses to setting up automatic transfers to a dedicated savings account. By embracing automation, individuals can plan and bid farewell to financial panic.
