Question: I always seem to have car emergencies. Isn’t there a better way to live?
Answer: Create an “Anti-Emergency Savings Fund “for normal and necessary expenses that do not occur every month. For example, you can pay your property taxes with your mortgage, save 1/12 of it every month, or just have an “emergency” when it shows up every year. By saving small amounts every month, you will actually have the money available to pay your property taxes when they are due. No more surprises!
The same is true with other types of normal expenses like car repairs, home repairs, school fees, holiday gifts, medical bills, etc. Even vacation!
Warmly, Cindy
