  16. Purposes for Savings: • EMERGENCIES; • PURCHASES; • WEALTH BUILDING.

  17. 1. Save for EMERGENCIES 78% OF US WILL HAVE A FINANCIAL CRISES IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS ($5,000-$10,000): • LOSS OF JOB; • CAR TROUBLES; • HEALTH TROUBLES; • FURNACE, etc. “WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR EMERGENCIES?”

  18. EMERGENCIES Emergencies will happen – successful people develop a plan to manage potential problems.32% of Americans cannot cover a $5,000 emergency from any source and most cannot cover it without taking on debt.

  19. Start small, set aside a few hundred dollars for emergencies, then… As you begin your career you save 3-6 months of expenses just for emergencies before moving on to building investment accounts. Low risk, Low return accounts serve as an insurance policy for emergencies. The return on investment means little. This is not an investment account nor is it a hot tub fund, a bass boat fund, a vacation fund, etc.
