This August, Sorted Money Month shines a spotlight on a key part of financial well-being: building an emergency savings account. Your KiwiSaver account is set aside solely for your long-term goals of retirement or buying your first home, while an emergency fund protects those plans when life throws surprises your way.Whether it’s a car repair, a leaky roof, or a sudden job change, having emergency savings means you’re less likely to have to take actions that will impact your long term financial goals.An emergency fund is your financial shock absorber—helping you handle surprises without compromising your future.
