Emergency funds are crucial to buttressing and protecting our financial life from unexpected catastrophes. But they're not always given the attention they should receive. And, when people do have them in place, they tend to actually lose money unknowingly.
We run into this a lot, where we're teaching people how to use a policy to be their own banker and make a lot more money. But for some reason, there's a mental block, which keeps them from seeing their policy as a bank. They still see a bank account as a bank and a policy as something different. Nothing makes that clearer than when people talk to us about their emergency fund and how they would never want to move that into a policy or something like that.
Today we're going to talk about emergency funds. How to use your policy as your emergency fund, how much more money you could be making with that, and really how a policy has all the characteristics that you would look for in a really great emergency fund.
