It EVERYDAY just CHEAPSKATE sounds better, doesn’t it? But whether you call it a sav- ings account or a con- THE BORN LOSER tingency Mary fund, it’s Hunt a key compo- nent in a sound financial life. And that’s why it’s rule two in my book “7 Money Rules for Life: How to Take Control of Your Financial Future.” Save for the future is a principle my Everyday Cheapskate and Debt-Proof ZITS Living readers have taken to heart. Having a healthy stash of cash put away in a safe, accessible place means regularly putting 10 percent of your net take-home pay into your contingency fund (CF). Sound impossible? What if you’re struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, you ask? Start with 1 percent, or 2, or 5. Saving for the future CLASSIC PEANUTS is preparing you for the day when you and your income part company for any num- ber of reasons. Take Grace from Oregon, THE FAMILY CIRCUS for example. Not only has she paid off more than $13,000 of unsecured debt, she’s grown her CF to a cool $15,000. She was almost beaming in her email to me. She closed by saying quite casually that she will be laid off from her job this FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE year. She’s not even upset. That’s because she’s been mentally preparing and has several options in mind. With absolutely no debt and money in the bank, what might otherwise be a devas- tating blow has become her next great adventure. Kathryn and Galen from Missouri were in a similar position. Before they were free of their unsecured ROSE IS ROSE debts, Galen was pink- slipped — again. Unlike the previous time, they were prepared with a $10,000 CF. They knew what to do, and for a long time didn’t even have to touch their CF. The bills were paid, the family fed, and one day at a time, all went well until Galen was gainfully employed and life was back on track. LUANN For some reason, it’s so much easier to live frugally and make the sacrifices necessary when you know you have money in the bank. So what’s your story? Are you prepared or scared? Do you have money in the bank, or do you feel like you’re just one paycheck from being homeless? Take the first step to change. It’s the perfect time, too. In cele- bration of America Saves GRIZZWELLS Week, which runs from Feb. 25 through March 3, 2013, open a savings account. Find out more about America Saves Week at AmericaSavesWeek.org. 2013 has the potential of being a financially chal- lenging year for many peo- ple.
