Todo adulto necesita un fondo de emergencia. Un fondo de emergencia, o "fondo para imprevistos", te proporciona un colch\u00f3n financiero para afrontar emergencias como la reparaci\u00f3n del coche o la cirug\u00eda de tu mascota sin endeudarte (y pagar enormes intereses a largo plazo).<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed hay tres consejos para comenzar a ahorrar lo suficiente para varios meses:<\/p>\n

Renuncia a un lujo durante un mes<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Crear un fondo de ahorro puede parecer imposible con un sueldo bajo, pero ahorrar incluso diez d\u00f3lares a la semana puede sumar con el tiempo. Quiz\u00e1s no quieras sacrificar un lujo como caf\u00e9s con leche a diario o salidas nocturnas caras para siempre. Como alternativa, prescinde de ellos por un tiempo y destina el dinero extra a un fondo de emergencia. Luego, el mes siguiente, puedes cambiar tus gastos de lujo por otra cosa.<\/p>\n

La cantidad de dinero que ahorras, aunque sea modesta, puede ser la diferencia entre pagar los alimentos en efectivo y ponerlos en tu tarjeta de cr\u00e9dito, lo que te costar\u00e1 m\u00e1s dinero a largo plazo a trav\u00e9s de los intereses.<\/p>\n

Empieza a ganar dinero extra<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Una forma de aliviar la presi\u00f3n de un sueldo peque\u00f1o y aumentar tus ahorros es buscar trabajo extra fuera de tu trabajo habitual. Podr\u00eda ser vender art\u00edculos en l\u00ednea o conducir para una empresa de viajes compartidos. Idealmente, deber\u00eda ser flexible para que puedas dedicarle m\u00e1s o menos tiempo seg\u00fan tus necesidades. Cualquier dinero que ganes puede depositarse en tu fondo de emergencia.<\/p>\n

Mantenlo cerca\u2026 pero no demasiado cerca<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Uno de los aspectos m\u00e1s importantes de tu fondo de emergencia es d\u00f3nde lo guardas. Si tu fondo est\u00e1 acumulado en tu cuenta corriente o en tu billetera en forma de facturas, puede ser muy f\u00e1cil gastarlo.<\/p>\n

Un fondo de emergencia debe ser f\u00e1cil de acceder para emergencias, pero no tan f\u00e1cil como para que tengas que recurrir a \u00e9l para gastos normales. Quiz\u00e1s la mejor opci\u00f3n sea agregarlo a tu cuenta de ahorros habitual, siempre y cuando puedas resistir la tentaci\u00f3n de retirarlo por capricho.<\/p>\n
