Save for Emergencies
Building an emergency savings fund is the top goal of American Savers. Nearly a third of savers who have enrolled locally or nationally have chosen “emergency savings” as their first wealth-building goal. An emergency savings fund consists of a small amount of money, usually in a savings account, that you do not have easy access to. Saving for this fund starts with small, simple, regularly scheduled contributions that build up over time.
