Hi steve,

I have to disagree because i am a great believer in saving 10% of your wage each week/month. I think most people will be spending more than they earn at the moment but if they can save 10% then they can have some money if times get harder

Three to six months is the usual rule of thumb. That’s a totally arbitrary figure, and it’s rather daft because the size of your emergency fund should depend on your spending costs, not your income.

Thanks for the post, great information. People forget that changing a few small things can make a huge difference in their over all financial status.

Many times, debtors fall trap to emotional stress and they just want to get things over with by liquidating their assets not knowing that there’s chapter 13. As long I’m still young I definitely spare some of my penny to my emergency fund.
