How to Structure an Effective Emergency Fund

It was only a few short years ago that where you kept your emergency fund truly didn't matter. Some accounts earn maybe half a percent more than the run-of-the-mill savings account. Now, all that has changed. Today, we're discussing emergency funds because deciding where you keep your money is truly a discussion worth your time. How much should you keep? How much is too little? How much is too much? Where do many people run into trouble with their emergency funds? What's the difference between a money market account, high-yield savings account, and other common accounts people use to hold reserves?

Of course, that's not all. We'll feature a TikTok minute about the male equivalent of a big topic on social media, "girl math." What is "guy math"? We'll explore that and also debut a new segment on the show! If you've ever heard some of the "advice" online, you'll know that often someone could use a "second opinion," but this time from OG himself.

Even THAT isn't all! We also feature Doug's trivia question and much much more.
