Vicki L Blei, AAMStM Financial Advisor
It’s important to have adequate emergency savings for two key reasons
when an unexpected financial need arises such as a major home or car repair you may well have to act quickly And second, if you don’t have the funds readily available to meet this sudden need, you may be forced to dip into your long-term investments, including your IRA and 401(k) This typically isn t a good move as taking money early from these accounts could lead to both taxes and penalties And even more important, you’d be taking away resources from accounts you will almost certainly need to help provide income for a retirement that could last two, or even three, decades
So if you want to be financially prepared for emergencies how much money should you have available? There’s no one right answer for everyone, but generally speaking, it’s a good idea to keep three to six months’ worth of living expenses or a full year ’s worth, if you’re retired in a liquid, low-risk account that s separate from the financial accounts you might use for everyday spending
Of course, given the high cost of living, it’s not necessarily easy to put away several months of living expenses at least, not all at once That’s why you might want to have a certain amount automatically moved each month from your checking or savings account into the account you ve designated for emergency needs And when you get a financial “windfall,” such as a year-end bonus at work or a tax refund, you might want to use part of this money for your emergency fund, too You can also use these sources to replenish your emergency fund if you deplete some or all of it
Here’s something else to remember about an emergency fund: Keep it for emergencies As mentioned above, you should hold this fund apart from accounts that you draw on for daily expenses but you’ll also want to avoid the temptation to use the money for other things such as investment opportunities that may come your way That’s not to say you shouldn’t be prepared for these opportunities, but you can do so by keeping some cash or cash equivalents within your portfolio And, as an additional benefit, the presence of cash can potentially help reduce the impact of market volatility on a portfolio that s otherwise heavily weighted toward stocks
Building and maintaining an emergency fund should be an essential part of your overall financial strategy so if you haven t started one yet there s no time like the present this article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor
