Budgeting an Emergency Fund

Alan V. Dicks
I took over the family budget 20 years ago.  My wife kept her checkbook and certain bills and responsibilities, and I did too.  We were debt free twice.  What this class pointed out to me was having a substantial emergency fund.  Then you don't have to put car or medical issues on plastic.  I closed one of my checking accounts and opened up another savings account for such a time as it will be needed.  It was very satisfying.  MY four adult children have been money wise, but I am encouraging them to do the same.
