I never knew the importance of having an emergency fun until several months back when I lost my job. I was approaching the last few months of my lease and preparing for a huge move. I immediately thought, “How am I going to pay the rest of my bills on top of moving to another state?!” Then I had calmly remembered that I had extra money to fall back on in my emergency fund account. 

When I’m not hating that time of the month (you ladies know what I’m talking about), the rest of my hatred is usually reserved for the time when my bill statements arrive in my inbox. I don’t know about anyone else, but typically my bills all come during the same time of the month, during the first two weeks. Since I’m pretty good at managing my money, it’s not so much of a stressful time, but who loves to see money leaving their wallet?
