One of the biggest hurdles to building financial security isn't knowing what to do—it's figuring out how to actually do it with the money you have right now.
You know you need an emergency fund. You've heard the advice: "Save 3-6 months of expenses." But when you're living paycheck to paycheck or juggling bills and college tuition (been there!), that goal can feel impossible.
So let's start smaller. Let's start with $1,000.
Why $1,000 Matters
A thousand dollars won't cover six months of expenses, but it WILL cover:
A car repair that keeps you getting to work
An unexpected medical bill
A broken appliance you can't live without
Peace of mind when life throws you a curveball
That $1,000 is the difference between a crisis and an inconvenience.
It's Not About How Fast—It's About What Fits
Here's what I've learned: there's no "right" amount to save each week or month. There's only the amount that works for YOUR budget and YOUR life right now.
The key is picking a number you can actually stick with—and automating it so you don't have to think about it.
