Build an Emergency Fund in 6 Months

01

Start with a small buffer

Your first goal is a cushion that can absorb a minor surprise.

02

Add up the essentials

Housing, food, transport, insurance and minimum debt payments.

03

Pick a month target

Three to six months of essentials is a common planning range.

04

Keep it accessible

Low risk and easy to reach, separate from everyday spending.

05

Build it gradually

A fixed amount from every paycheck beats saving what is left over.
