10. What is an emergency fund?

    An emergency fund, also known as a rainy day fund, is a savings account where you set aside money for an unexpected event. For example, you might dip into your emergency fund for an unexpected medical bill, a sudden need for car repair, or a job loss. Your emergency fund should not be used for day-to-day expenses, vacations, or other big non-emergency purchases.

    The idea is that by having dedicated savings for the unexpected, you’ve created a buffer, should disaster strike. You’ll have funds to cover an emergency and not be as financially impacted as you would be if you were unprepared. This allows you to avoid debt and continue to pursue your other financial goals in the face of an emergency.
