00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.320
Well, good afternoon, Michigan Anders. It is Tuesday, April eighth,

2
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.679
twenty twenty five, and of course this is Tuesday with Tom,

3
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.439
Michigan's only weekly internet show where we do answer your

4
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.600
questions about a state planning and a state settlement in

5
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.920
the state of Michigan, and we don't send you a bill.

6
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.000
As always, I'm your host, Tom Doyle, a state planning attorney,

7
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.439
lifelong Michigan resident, and ambassador for all things good in

8
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.719
this great state of Michigan. Welcome, welcome to to day's program. Well,

9
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.959
our last episode, why now is the right time to

10
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.920
get your estate plan in order? If you've been watching

11
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:27.599
the news stressful time President Trump. When he ran for election,

12
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.439
he promised to build the greatest economy in history. But

13
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.480
if you look what's happened in light of what he's done,

14
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.599
in particular with the tariffs, S and p is down

15
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.239
over seventeen percent, nine point six trillion dollars has been

16
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:56.480
simply erased from the market. And with that political uncertainty,

17
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.040
many people are understandably feeling uneasy about the future. But unfortunately,

18
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.400
as I talked about in last week's episode, that uncertainty

19
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:13.919
actually increases the likelihood of unexpected events. So now more

20
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.759
than ever, and I know a lot of people are

21
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.960
sitting back right now waiting to see what happens. We

22
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.680
don't know what's going to happen with our s so

23
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.319
SOI security. We don't know what's going to happen with

24
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.000
our investments, so we're gonna sit We're going to wait,

25
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.280
and maybe we'll get our state plan done later. But

26
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.800
the fact of the matter is, as.

27
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.439
I gave.

28
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.400
Information last episode, this time of uncertainty is more likely.

29
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.039
It's actually going to increase the possibility that you might

30
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.560
actually die in the meantime. So if you're thinking about

31
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.159
putting things off, I encourage you listen to last week's episode,

32
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.080
well today's episode.

33
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.240
I normally don't talk about money.

34
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.080
I normally talk about state planning, but because of what's

35
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.759
going on, I was reading an article, so I thought

36
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.039
it might be an interesting topic for today's conversation, and

37
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:19.439
that is how much should be in your emergency fund. Again,

38
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.680
we're talking about something it's not exciting, but it could

39
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.919
end up being what might be considered your financial superhero.

40
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.879
That is an emergency fund, whether it's a car that's

41
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.240
not going to start or surprise medical bills or if

42
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.400
you're working unexpected layoffs. Look what's happened to a lot

43
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.159
of the federal employees.

44
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:39.560
That are out there.

45
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.039
So today we're going to talk a little bit about

46
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.039
how much should be in your emergency fund. But please

47
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.599
remember what I'm about to discuss during the program is,

48
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.120
as always, for educational purposes only. It is not intended

49
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.960
to be legal or financial advice. You need to work

50
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.159
with your attorney and your financial advisor and your tax

51
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.800
advisor to determine what is appropriate for you and your

52
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:28.560
estate and financial plan. So let's start with what is

53
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.000
an emergency fund. If you don't have one, you need

54
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.519
to understand what an emergency fund is, and we start

55
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.279
with an emergency fund is simply a stash of cash

56
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.879
set aside for yes, you guessed.

57
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.560
It, emergency emergencies.

58
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.560
Think of it as a financial safety net. It's not

59
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.480
for vacations, it's not for a new TV. It's for

60
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.160
those moments in life that's in life, that's a surprise

61
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.879
and your bank account says not today.

62
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.199
So why do you need one? Well, even if you

63
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.639
have a steady job.

64
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.759
And good insurance, emergencies still cost money. Having an emergency

65
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.920
fund keeps you from relying on high interest credit cards.

66
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.399
It can give you peace of mind. It helps you

67
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:30.079
make better long term financial decisions without panic. Think of

68
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:39.199
it as actually like insurance you give yourself. So even

69
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.639
if you have a steady job, or even more important,

70
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.000
if you are retired, having that emergency fund because you

71
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.480
don't have the ability to simply now replace income, so

72
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:57.240
you need to plan for possible emergencies in saving that

73
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.680
money inside your emergency fund. What should you say, Well,

74
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.240
there are, according to financial planners, some general rule of thumbs.

75
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.040
If you're just starting out, perhaps five hundred dollars to

76
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.000
one thousand dollars to cover some basic emergencies would be

77
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.639
a good place to begin. It certainly better than nothing.

78
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.000
It's better than simply taking out your credit card to

79
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:27.480
cover those basic emergencies. Longer term goals, certainly if you're

80
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:33.240
working normally, longer term goal, according to experts, is going

81
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.920
to look at some three to six months worth of expenses.

82
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.639
So take all of your expenses, your rent or your mortgage,

83
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.959
or your car payments or your student loan payments, and

84
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.800
food and expenses, your normal expenses.

85
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:50.720
Just lay them all out.

86
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.399
If you haven't done that, take a piece of paper,

87
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.279
write them all down, what are they, Look at your

88
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.560
bank accounts so that you make sure you're accurate in

89
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.160
the is that you're writing, and then multiply them by

90
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.600
three to six months, and that's going to give you

91
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.439
the general number that you should be shooting for to

92
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.040
cover emergency expenses. Now, it's going to be different if

93
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:15.839
you're retired.

94
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:16.759
Again.

95
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.120
If you're retired, you don't have the ability to simply

96
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.519
earn more, or work more or work longer in order

97
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:32.160
to build up that emergency fund. So the normal wisdom,

98
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.639
if you are retired, it's going to be longer. You

99
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.120
should be shooting for twelve to eighteen months worth of

100
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.920
expenses if you are retired. But those are some targets

101
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.680
to look at again. Start five hundred to one thousand

102
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.319
dollars to cover your basic expenses. Look at three to

103
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.959
six months worth of expenses if you're working, But if

104
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.160
you're retired, shoot for that twelve to eighteen months, because

105
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.759
you all know during that time you can have unexpected

106
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:07.639
metal expenses, unexpected car breakdowns, whatever it happens to be.

107
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.279
So ask yourself, essentially, if you lost your income tomorrow,

108
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.639
if you're working, how many months could I live on

109
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:21.519
what's in my account? Your emergency fund should answer that

110
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:27.759
question with confidence, knowing that if something happened, you don't

111
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.759
have to panic. You don't have to dig in deeply

112
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:38.840
in expensive credit card debt to cover those expenses. Once

113
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.440
you decide that, then the next question is where should

114
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:50.399
you keep it? Where should you keep your emergency expenses

115
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:56.440
fund or your emergency fund? Well, think about that. You

116
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.960
want it to be someplace secure, So you don't want

117
00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:02.279
it to be in the stock market. Look if you

118
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.360
had your emergency funds right now in the stock market

119
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.759
and you look at what's happened over the last few days,

120
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.639
you would be panicking because you would have lost potentially

121
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.720
significant portions of your emergency fund. So it needs to

122
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.159
be in a secure location. So normally you're going to

123
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.000
be looking at something like a high yield savings accounts.

124
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.639
High yield savings accounts are ideal why because they're easy

125
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.679
to access, but they're not too easy to spend. So

126
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.679
I'm talking about a high yield savings account. It is

127
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.919
not your checking account. Don't keep your emergency fund and

128
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.679
your checking account because you'll spend it on pizza or

129
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.879
impulse buying. Or whatever it happens to be. So you

130
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.320
need to have a separate account. Again, high yield savings

131
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.879
account is ideal because it's not too easy to spend it.

132
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.080
You might even put your high yield savings account in

133
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.000
a different bank. Then you have your normal a checking account,

134
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.080
so that you can't easily just write a check and

135
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.320
take it. You have to think about it when you're

136
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.360
taking funds from your emergency expense. And again, don't have

137
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.080
it in the stock market, because it's an emergency fund

138
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.519
that you need to make sure is there to cover emergencies.

139
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.720
If you don't have an emergency fund already, then just

140
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.360
start small, even if you don't have much, start small

141
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.799
and start building it up. Maybe you set up automatic

142
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.279
transfers from your checking account, maybe ten dollars a week.

143
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.840
You need to look at your finances and see what

144
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.960
you can afford, but don't put it off. Make sure

145
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.679
you are investing in yourself and your emergency fund.

146
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.200
Tax refunds.

147
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.480
Everyone's filing your income tax returns right now. You're looking

148
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:02.039
at getting a refund. Consider putting your tax refund into

149
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.200
that emergency fund. You get a bonus at work, move

150
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.200
that bonus into that emergency fund, or whenever you have

151
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.399
any sort of a financial windfall, consider moving that money

152
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.039
into that emergency funds.

153
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.080
Think of it.

154
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:29.600
Savings are important and they're not negotiable. Cut out small expenses,

155
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.759
maybe skip a few takeout meals and status the savings aside.

156
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.919
But treat savings kind of like a bill. It's something

157
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.759
that you have to pay. So you have to pay

158
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.279
into your emergency fund on a regular basis, in addition

159
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.080
to with any sort of windfalls that you might be able. Now,

160
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.360
it's not about being perfect.

161
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:53.840
It's not about.

162
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.440
Saying, oh, my calculation is I need exactly this amount

163
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.519
of money, and I'm going to be perfect about in

164
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.440
having exactly that amount.

165
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.279
It's not about perfection.

166
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.360
It's really about progress, making sure that you are moving

167
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:17.879
in the right direction with that emergency fund. So common

168
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:23.080
mistakes to avoid regarding your emergency fund. The biggest dipping

169
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.039
into the fund for non emergencies. Think about a black

170
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:34.799
Friday is not an emergency. Buying pizza is not an emergency.

171
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:41.639
It has to be for true, unexpected emergencies. And then

172
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.919
when you do use the funds to cover an emergency,

173
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.600
don't forget to replenish it. So if your car breaks

174
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.720
down and you have to use one thousand dollars from

175
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.320
your emergency fund to get your car fixed. Make sure

176
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.519
that you have a plan for now replay fleshing that

177
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:08.600
thousand dollars after you use it. Another pretty common mistake

178
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.399
that people will make is waiting until I make more

179
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.159
money to start my emergency fund.

180
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.559
I'll wait. Maybe I'm gonna make more money next year.

181
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.000
Maybe I'm gonna make more money five years from now.

182
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.799
I'm gonna wait until I'm making more money. No, you

183
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.879
need to think about now and begin now, and not

184
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.679
simply wait until you make more money, because if you

185
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.159
do that, you will likely never have that emergency fund

186
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.879
built up. Bottom Line, life isn't gonna wait for you.

187
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.840
Emergencies are gonna happen, and you have to prioritize setting

188
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.679
funds aside to make sure that you can match those

189
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.279
emergencies again without having to dip into expensive.

190
00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.519
Credit card debt.

191
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.840
A lot of people sit been said, well, if there's

192
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.639
an emergency, I'll just use my credit card. If you

193
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.480
have a choice, building up the fund using your own money,

194
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.360
avoiding that maybe twenty five percent interest rate on your

195
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.360
credit card.

196
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.200
Is the better option.

197
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.600
So what we're talking about basically having an emergency fund.

198
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.440
It's not very glamorous, but it does give you options

199
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.559
and it can help give you peace of mind. And

200
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.279
if there's something that you know that Amanda and I

201
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.519
are areas talking about relative to a state planning, is

202
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:40.080
to have peace of mind. The peace of mind that

203
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.679
comes from knowing that you have a plan in place,

204
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.440
the peace of mind that comes from knowing that if

205
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.360
something happens to you, your loved ones will.

206
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.279
Be taken care of.

207
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:55.559
That same peace of mind, though, is applied when you

208
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:04.159
have the confidence to face financial emergencies. So think about

209
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.000
it in the overall piece of mind contact and make

210
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.200
sure that you are putting together your emergency fund so

211
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:40.480
that you will have that peace of mind. Of course,

212
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.639
while we can't do the financial planning for you and

213
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.480
put together emergency fund, a man and I would be

214
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:51.480

215
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.360
loved ones by putting together your state plan, amending in

216
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.120
a state plan that you already have, or assisting you

217
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.639
