So. we’re still working on our years worth of salary. That’s our ultimate savings. One year of his salary. That’s in a checking out at a credit union we don’t use often, and it’s not close by. Our emergency savings, is at a local credit union. That’s 6 months of expenses. Our checking account with our 1k buffer, is at another local bank. We’ve been victims of identity theft, so we have money at difference banks. And they each serve a purpose. If we have an emergency, it comes out of the account that holds six months of expenses. Anything that’s beyond that, would come out of the one year of salary. It gives us a safety net. We decided to split it up to help us reach our goals. Also, the bank with the largest savings, closed all their branches in our state, so we switched to a local bank for our everyday needs. When they came back, we just used them for savings since we already had an account with them. One of our local credit unions was offering some killer interest rates, so we opened an account with them for our short term emergency money. It sounds complicated, but it works for us. ♀️
