How Much Emergency Money Do You Really Need?

Where's My Money?

About
We are tackling the big question around emergency funds with Becs from enable.me. From broken dishwashers to job losses, how much buffer do you actually need?

We break down why it is not about your income, how to calculate your essential living costs, and the best places to keep your cash so it is ready when you need it.

This episode was brought to you by our friends at http://enable.me - helping Kiwis build better financial futures.
