Experts advise people to set aside enough cash to cover three to six months of living expenses in case something bad happens. Here’s how to get your “rainy-day fund” going:
· Save a little every week, even if up to your eyeballs in bills.
· Pay your rainy-day fund before paying into your retirement.
· Pay the minimums on your credit card for a few months and put the remainder into your fund until you've built it up.
· Go on a spending diet until your fund is built up.
· Sell things you don't need to bolster your fund.
