Government Stimulus Checks
Saving for The Unexpected
One thing the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has shown us is how important it is to have an emergency savings fund. Things can go from good to bad fast and an emergency fund provides comfort and security in times of hardship.
The CARES Act will give most adults a $1200 stimulus check and $500 for each child. If you don’t have an immediate need for this money (overdue bills or loan payments), then this represents a great way to start your emergency savings fund.
A good emergency fund should cover three to six months’ worth of essential living expenses – rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments, food and clothing. While the $1200 stimulus check may not cover all those expenses, it is a good start.
