Creating an Emergency Fund That Works for You

*Dr. Latifat is the author of the Amazon bestselling books Done With Broke: The Woman Physician’s Guide to More Money and Less Hustle and The Power to Choose: The Woman Physician’s Guide to Financial Liberation and Life on Your Terms.

In this episode, she shares how to create an emergency fund that truly fits you:your current season, your lifestyle, and your goals. She explains why one-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work, how to decide what’s “enough,” and how to make sure your savings strategy aligns with your vision for life and work.

Key Takeaways:
1. Match your fund to your goals and current season.
2. Avoid one-size-fits-all advice.
3. Save with clarity, not guilt.
