Saving Resources
Emergency Fund
At one time or another, we will all experience an unexpected financial emergency. That could be a medical bill, car repairs or a surprise ticket. Having money in savings makes these emergencies an inconvenience rather than a catastrophe.
Quick Tips
- Make it automatic — Send a portion of your paycheck directly to a savings account or use an app that rounds up charges and places the difference into a savings account.
- Save your windfalls — If you receive a tax refund, scholarship refund or financial gift, place a portion directly into savings.
- Swap out expensive habits — Try finding ways to save while still doing the things you love. Swap out online shopping for thrift shopping, get your hair or nails done at a student salon, borrow books from the library or have friends over for a meal at home. Reroute the money saved into your emergency fund or savings.
