Worrying about your finances can spell doom and this is why you need to understand the importance of emergency funds.

Emergency funds can help you stop stressing about your finance

There are many things you do not bargain for that will happen to you, but your emergency savings, the impact of those things on your personal finance would be minimal.

Concerns about money could give you financial worry, especially if you need some money to address an emergency issue and you have little or nothing to fall back on. But with your emergency savings, you'll have less to worry about.

2. It prevents you from borrowing

When you find yourself in an emergency situation and you have no money to address the issue, you'll most likely turn to friends to borrow money, right? But if you have an emergency fund you'll have no reason to borrow from anyone because the fund is actually meant to solve problems.

3. It helps you weather the storms

4.  It protects you and your family in case of a job loss

Not all jobs guarantee job security, and when the unexpected happens, you can easily have something to fall back on before you get another job.

5. It is a gateway to investment
