Why the $1000 Emergency Fund is a HUGE goal for new budgeters!

I know people say that $1000 in an emergency fund is not enough money, and they are right... but here's why it's an important goal when you just start in your budgeting journey.

That $1000 is more money than most people in debt have ever been able to save in their life.

It certainly was was for me.

If an emergency popped up, l used to look for a line of credit or a payday loan to cover it.

Saving my first $1000 was about reframing my brain, having a small sense of security, but also a huge amount of satisfaction that I could complete the first step do paying off my credit card debt.
