Do You Have Enough Savings in the Case of an Emergency?

Who doesn't face an unexpected event and a surprise bill? The most common are medical expenses, home repairs, car repairs, and unforeseen travel expenses. A sudden loss or drop in income can make almost any bill challenging to pay.

Use the Bills.com Emergency Fund Calculator to figure out how much money you need to save and protect yourself in cases of distress.

Should I stop saving for emergency funds if I can't afford my credit card payments?

JJosh, Aug, 2021


Hello Betsalel. 

Thank you for reaching out today. Please, do not take my answer to be legal advice as I am not an attorney. Only attorneys can offer legal advice. 

 Everyone's debt is different, so the first step is figuring out what might be the best solution for you. Our partners can help you learn more about debt relief options like debt resolution, consumer credit counseling, paying off debt more efficiently on your own, or using your home equity to consolidate debt or consolidation loans.

We would encourage you to save money in case of an emergency. If you can not afford your credit card payments you might also find saving money difficult. 

If you would like to learn more please contact Freedom Debt Relief at 800-852-1431. You can also look them up online at https://www.bills.com/paying-off-debt/debt-settlement. 

Regards, Josh

Thanks for the calculator. Not only did I realize how much I needed to save, but I immediately started a new account. I decided to put away $400 each month. Once I build up my emergency account, I plan on putting away money to buy a home.

Edith, thanks for your positive feedback. That is a great plan! I suggest that you look at some of our other tools including our Financial Health Survey and Bills.com Monthly Savings Calculator.
