How to save up 3 months worth of salary for emergencies
"In these days of a diving economy, this goal is absolutely essential. "
How I did it: I had a set amount automatically taken from each paycheck and put right in savings, before I even saw it. If you can afford to save 10%, then do that. If you can only do 5%, that's good, too.
Lessons & tips: Give up the lattes, the new DVDs, the fast food. One year from now, we could still be in a recession and you will be prepared.
Resources: Online banking allowed me to automatically transfer money every paycheck.
