This week, Sim shares a simple, stress free way to rebuild your emergency fund after you have had to use it, and she reminds you to drop the guilt because that money did its job. She walks through taking stock of your situation, setting realistic mini targets like $500 to $1,000 first, and then using automation and a separate account so you are not relying on willpower. Sim also explains how small weekly transfers add up fast and how having even a basic buffer can make you feel calmer, more confident, and ready for whatever life throws at you.
