Collecting your beer and liquor empties isnāt the same as having an emergency fund.
Sure, those bottle returns might cover another case or bottleā but they wonāt cover a blown transmission, a surprise vet bill, or a sudden job loss.
An emergency fund should be:
- š§ Liquid (not the kind that was in the empty)
- š Accessible (without a trip to the recycling depot)
- š§± Reliable (even when the partyās over)
Start with $500. Build to $1,000. Then aim for 3ā6 months of expenses.
Because when life hits hard, you want cash ā not cans.
