How to Save for an Emergency
One thing all Veterans have in common is knowing how to be prepared for unexpected events. Sometimes, being prepared means having enough cash on hand to get you through any adverse situation without resorting to loans or incurring credit card debt — whether it be an unexpected (and expensive) car repair or medical bills or even a natural disaster. Having an emergency fund is essential to your preparedness for facing life’s financial surprises head-on.
