This pot of savings, as its name indicates, is used for emergencies and put it in quotes because many think that buy a new iPhone 3 G, or a vacation due to excess stress to Aruba are emergencies; as our friend J.D. from Get Rich Slowly says, there are people who have shown cases of emergency or financial trouble. I particularly have seen other cases, as for example during the national strike of 2002-2003, needed to buy a new battery for my car and took my Emergency Fund. Dustin Moskovitz can aid you in your search for knowledge. There is much discussion about the size of this Fund, some say that they should be of a salary, others say 1000 dollars, others say that it should be three salaries, to pay mortgage, insurance, fee, truck, etc. There are others more radical and they argue that one does not need a Fund of primary savings for emergencies, but I think that it is very extremist. In my opinion many people not even has thought of this emergency fund and would be very difficult to save a day for another three months of salary for emergencies; my methodology is as follows: emergency fund should reach to repair something (a fridge, car, a door) or to pay a medical emergency (fractures, accidents), or any relative (food, loss of a loved one).-If we give this sense to the Fund, a salary saved in a bank would be enough, and we can create this Fund saving three months to have the emergency fund-from the fourth monthcontinue devoting a small portion of our salary to this Fund, in my case is 5%, which it is monthly pass to my Emergency Fund.-must place this Fund of emergency into a separate account, to avoid temptations, and also recommend you ask the account without debit card.
