Building a real emergency fund from nothing, and understanding why it should come before investing.
An emergency fund should come before investing, not after — money in the market isn't accessible for a car repair next Tuesday, and selling investments during a downturn to cover an emergency can lock in real losses. This guide builds that foundation first.
Inside: how much to actually target for a starter emergency fund, where to keep it so it's accessible but still earning something, building it from zero without it taking years, and knowing when it's genuinely time to start allocating extra money toward investing instead. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats.
