Emergency Funds
Thu Jan 29 2026
In this episode of The About Podcast, Roy and Jeremy break down one of the most important—and most misunderstood—parts of financial health: the emergency fund.
They explore why relying on credit cards during a crisis can keep you stuck, how much you actually need set aside, and how an emergency fund gives you more than security—it gives you freedom, dignity, and better choices when life throws a curveball.
From real-life examples to practical rules of thumb, this conversation will help you understand:
• What an emergency fund really is (and what it isn’t)
• How much you should aim to save based on your situation
• Where to keep your emergency money
• Why this is the foundation of every solid financial plan
If you’ve ever wondered how to protect yourself from life’s “what ifs,” this episode is a must-listen.
