Oh My Dollar!

Saving up that first emergency fund can be hard - especially if you don't make a lot of money, if murphy keeps knocking on your door and stealing from your savings, or if you have variable income. So we asked listeners to share their stories of how they saved their first emergency funds.

Here are different methods:

-The automatic sneaky savings method - including using an app

- The shoebox under the bed method

- The side hustle method

- The tax refund method

- Ramping down debt repayment while saving method

We'll continue this discussion on the Oh My Dollar! forums! We don't bite, come join!
