Business Insider contributor Jackie Lam says she took an unconventional approach to building her emergency fund. Wasting no time, the minute she got her first, tiny, rented apartment, she began saving towards her goal of $5,000. And she got there fast, by 'glamping' in her apartment. For the first few months of residency, she ate and slept on the floor. Later, her mattress and box spring came from IKEA. It took her three years to finally buy a used loveseat off Craigslist. The rest of her furniture was lovingly hand-picked from the curb. Lam kept her grocery bill down to $25 a week by planning menus based on sales. By using Christmas LED lights and candles, spent $15 a month on electricity. She kept her car in great shape by biking, walking, and taking the bus everywhere she could. And guess what? She hit her target in just a year!
Business Insider contributor Bethany McCamish's aunt is super-smart with money. Now, she wants to share her aunt's simple technique for amassing bucks. McCamish admits she approached building her own emergency savings account by trying to save 'whatever was left' at the end of the month. Years of using that technique presented irrefutable evidence: it doesn't work. At all. Ever. Finally, she tried her aunt's technique. She wrote a check to her savings account just like she paid any other bill, no matter what. Her aunt now has a $45,000 emergency fund, a fully funded IRA and ROTH-IRA, a 401(k), and a pension fund. Now 62, she can retire comfortably. Think of yourself as an investment, and this means saving first. Kathy McGlaughlin
For the tens of millions who have lost their jobs in the wake of the pandemic, life at home has also changed dramatically for millions of Americans. According to Business Insider contributor Rebecca Chamaa, there are ways to keep your grocery bill under control, even if eating out is no longer an option. First, start with shopping by list, not by impulse. Plan your meals and shop accordingly. Pick recipes that use what you've already got. Become a big fan of leftovers. Freeze excess portions, and dub one night a week 'Leftover Buffet.' Finally, check expiration dates. Make soup stock from vegetables before they go off. Buy foods just about to go off from the bargain rack, and use immediately.
