The 30-Day $1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge: Protect Yourself Quickly

Do you have a $1,000 Emergency Fund in a high-yield savings account? Most Americans cannot access $1,000 during an emergency.

It's time to build your safety. You can save $1,000 in one month if you try your best-and budget.

The tricky part of this challenge is creating the three or four budgets you need to run your household effectively.

Once you have your budgets, you can cut costs for the month. Then you can sell some underused things.

Finally, you can barter and trade to get some additional cash flow. If you can do all of these things, you'll produce $1,000 reasonably quickly. Good Luck!
