Xiomara’s personal finance tip

There’s no better time to start an emergency fund than now! You don’t even need a large amount to begin — every little bit counts. (For example, you could put away any money you have left after you’ve paid your monthly bills.) And to make sure it counts, put your emergency fund in a high-yield savings account, since you can often find rates that are significantly higher than those of brick-and-mortar banks.
