15 Tips to Pump Up Your Too-Small Emergency Fund

 
 
Financial experts say your emergency fund should be big enough to cover at least three to six months' worth of expenses in case you get sick and can't work or you lose your job. Some financial advisors say an emergency fund robust enough to cover 12 months' worth of expenses is even better, but that's looking a lot like a pipe dream: A recent Bankrate survey revealed that just 24 percent of Americans have enough savings to cover at least six months of expenses, and 50 percent have less than three months' expenses saved up. And 27 percent are living paycheck to paycheck, without any savings at all.

The consequences of not having enough in emergency savings can be dire depending on the nature of your emergency. You may have to rely on credit cards if you have them, or the kindness of friends and relatives, or a high-interest short-term loan.
