3. Savings Challenge: Participate in a savings challenge or online community where individuals share progress, offer support, and hold each other accountable for reaching savings goals.

Notes:

1. Emergency Fund Purpose: Clearly define what constitutes an emergency and when funds can be withdrawn from the emergency fund to avoid unnecessary spending.

2. Emergency Fund Size: Consider factors such as [MONTHLY EXPENSES], [JOB STABILITY], and potential emergencies when determining the appropriate size of the emergency fund.
