Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.
You have no control over the market. You can't predict where it will go, and you can't bring it back from the depths. What you can do is save more. Make sure you have cash on hand - an emergency fund of at least six months of expenses.
Many of my friends and allies - not to mention my critics - lobbied me to spend on worthy causes. Who cares about a rainy-day fund when times are good? There are raises to give and projects to fund!
Do you have an emergency fund? If not, build one - aim for three months of expenses to start, then boost it to six. It will ease your anxiety and get you out of a potential jam.
I feel very strongly we need to do a better job with the rainy day fund.
You never know: rain, sleet, hail, snow,
See you gotta accept that's how things go.
Prepare for the rainy day, or the sun's glow,
But there's clouds movin' in and the clouds gonna blow.
We deliberately filled our rainy-day fund to its statutory capacity over my time leading the Mississippi Senate as lieutenant governor.
The surest way to find an actively managed fund that will have top-quartile returns is to look for a fund that has bottom-quartile expenses.
I'm taking pictures in my mind so i can save them for a rainy day.
There are two things that you need to save for. First, you need an emergency cushion of no fewer than six months of living expenses. This needs to be cash in a liquid account where you can get at it in - yes - an emergency if you need it. In other words, money markets, not CDs. You also need to save for your future: that means retirement.
Tape the sound of friends laughing together. Save it for a rainy day.
Building a rainy-day fund during good times may not be politically popular, but it can pay off during the bad times.
You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?
I do save a lot. I'm a reality TV star but at the end of the day I know you have to save. With my career it can sometimes be over in an instant and that's why I've always saved.
The shortest period of time lies between the minute you put some money away for a rainy day and the unexpected arrival of rain.
If you are worried about job security and do not have an adequate emergency fund (ideally eight months' worth of living expenses stashed away in a federally insured bank or credit union), you need to focus more on saving money than paying down the balance on your credit cards.
