📊 Terms Made Simple
Emergency Fund: Cash set aside for unexpected expenses or income loss — job loss, medical bills, car repairs, home emergencies. NOT for vacations or planned purchases.
3-Month Target: The bare minimum safety net. Covers you for a short job search or a couple of big emergencies. Start here if you have nothing.
6-Month Target: The recommended safety net. Covers a real job search (average 3-6 months), multiple emergencies, or a combination. This is the goal.
High-Yield Savings: Keep your emergency fund in a high-yield savings account (4-5% APY), not checking. It needs to be accessible within 1-2 days but earning interest while it sits.
