Taking control of your funds is the first step toward financial empowerment. This include setting aside money for unforeseen expenses, controlling your spending, and handling your debt responsibly. Here’s where to begin:
Have an emergency money on hand. Unexpected occurrences, like an abrupt job loss, can be costly. You can pay for these expenses up until you get back on your feet by having an emergency fund. Generally speaking, experts advise setting aside an emergency fund that can last three to six months. These savings should be kept in a location that is easy to get to, such an interest-bearing savings account.
Maintain a budget.
