Can one unexpected expense turn everything upside down?
If you feel like you are living paycheck to paycheck, you’re not alone. Many working people feel the same way — having the hidden stress and worry all the time no matter what their income level is.
It seems like expenses are always equal to, or just a little bit more than, the money coming in.
What do you do when a financial surprise happens that you were not expecting or planning for?
Build Your Own Money Reserve Bucket
Choose a reserve goal that fits your life, then build it one step at a time. Your reserve can help you prepare for life's unexpected expenses and give yourself more choices and breathing room.
