Emergency Fund:
An emergency fund is money that you put into an account in case of a rainy day.
Actors – this is not money you use from one job to the next – it’s money kept for true emergencies.
I like setting up an emergency fund in a money market account (that’s liquid – aka can sell at any time) that doesn’t show up on my online banking, so it’s out of sight and I’m less tempted to spend it.
Experts recommend saving 6-12 months of expenses in your Emergency Fund.

Retirement:
“Retirement?! Why do I need to be thinking about retirement in my 20’s? I’m just barely getting by now!”

The earlier you start saving, the better off you will be.
Your future self will thank you!
