Save up for the unexpected
Rounding it up
It’s always a good time to build your own little financial safety net. Begin by figuring out how much you want to put away in this “just in case” fund.
The less predictable your income is, the more money you should set aside.
After calculating how much money you want to stash away, have your bank automatically deduct it from your paycheque.
Don’t let your fund just sit there—let it grow by putting it in a High Interest Savings Account (HISA).
