1. Build an Emergency Fund 

Creating an emergency fund for your family is one way to ensure you are financially ready if disaster hits. If you are financially sound in the event of a disaster, your mental and physical health will not be hit as hard as the financial aspect of things will be taken care of. 

Using a budget and financial calendar to know exactly where your money is going each month allows you to identify your extra income. With this extra income, you can start to build your own emergency fund. Ending the use of your debt and working to eliminate all your debt will allow you to build onto your emergency fund even more. 

Creating and building an emergency fund is a long process and is not an easy one. This process is most dependent on three factors:

• Income 

• Debt balances 

• Personal commitment

We get it – saving money is hard, and it takes discipline and commitment to allow your savings to really grow. But, if you work hard and dedicate your extra money to your emergency fund, in just a few years you will have solid savings for you and your family to rely on.
