Are you stressed or sorted?

Your car is making a weird new noise.

Your dog just ate a whole block of choc. 

You broke a tooth and need the dentist.

Stuff happens. 

Everyone needs an emergency fund, a buffer to get you through those unexpected times when you need extra funds in a hurry. 

August Money Month from Sorted has free tools and resources to help you with finances, like this budgeting planner.

This year the focus is on building up your emergency funds, so that you're ready when something unexpected comes up. 

Emergency savings start with just putting a few dollars away and building it up over time.

• Emergency savings make us resilient, no matter what.
• The more money you save, the less you’ll need to borrow in a hurry.  
• Credit cards or overdrafts aren’t a good financial safety net, since they run up debt.  
• Setting aside emergency money together as whānau or friends can be powerful.
