Transcript

It's now been 53 days since we started saving from this to this. And we have a goal of $12,000 that we are trying to save. The only reason that we are trying to get $12,000 saved is because we want to make sure that we are prepared for any sort of emergency that can happen. Layoffs, vet visits, anything in that matter that we need to make sure we have cash handy. That's why we're saving. That's why it's so important to have a high yield savings account, because you never know when these emergencies can come up. And it doesn't have to be a large amount every single day. So for today, we're just putting $20 in a high yield savings account.
