When it comes to financial planning, one of the most common questions is, "How much money do I need in an emergency fund?" According to Adam Nash, CEO and co-founder of Daffy, a not-for-profit community built around a modern platform for giving, the answer is at least three months of your living expenses. This is to ensure that if you lose your job or face a disruption to your primary income, you can still cover your rent and other necessary expenses. Setting up an emergency fund is a crucial step in financial planning. It's a separate account where you put money aside for unexpected expenses or income disruptions. This fund is essential because many of our financial commitments and goals are long-term, and a short-term disruption shouldn't derail these plans. Daffy, as a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), can be a great option for managing your emergency fund. With Daffy, you can easily donate to almost every US public charity, track tax-deductible contributions, and access donation receipts all in one place. Daffy waives all membership fees for members with less than $100 in their fund, making it a cost-effective choice for those starting their emergency fund.
