Prepared for Surprise Expenses

I am always amazed at new moms. The number of items they have to carry around everyday astonishes me!! They’re ready for anything.

Well just like these new moms are prepared – no matter what – we also need to make plans for those surprise expenses that seem to come out of nowhere. You know the ones I’m talking about … brakes for the car, a new water heater, clothes for your daughter that just hit another growth spurt!

Being prepared means having an emergency savings fund. Start by saving ten dollars. If you can save $10, you can save$100, if you can save a hundred dollars and you can save$1,000.

The key is to create and live by a budget.
