Having an emergency fund is basic financial planning that is too often neglected. Even with a cushion to fall back on though, don’t discount how it’s going to feel seeing the balance fall month after month. I expected a break when a company I worked for closed down. In fact, it was autumn and my original plan was to enjoy some time off and pick things up in the new year. Part of me regrets not doing that but I know at the time stress quickly set in.
