Why Your Emergency Fund Isn’t Enough Anymore

Think 3 months of savings is enough? It’s not anymore — and here’s what to do instead. She did everything right. Paid off debt. Saved three months’ expenses. Lived below her means. And still, when the layoff came — it wasn’t enough. This is the new reality for millions. The old emergency fund rule — “save 3 to 6 months” — was built for a world that doesn’t exist anymore.
