    And it fucking SUCKS in the beginning, because for a very long time it keeps getting wiped out by emergencies. But the more emergencies you weather, eventually the fewer you’ll have, and your buffer will grow.

    Emergency funds are the most important tool for financial stability (after securing a living wage).
