There are certain things in life that we just couldn't have foreseen. Perhaps a large purchase like a house or a car, set your family back a huge way financially. Or it could possibly be due to larger causes like a nationwide economic meltdown. Whatever it is, your budget needs to be firm enough to maintain provisions for basic needs while being flexible enough to bend to the times.
Most people often think of budgets as a way to allocate money to a certain aspect of their lifestyle. However, the importance of budgets can be extended to cover something more than just the mortgage or your kids' allowance. Saving money for a rainy day can also be attributed to proper budget procedures.
If you know something in advance, it gives you a great advantage to plan ahead and know what's coming your way. However, the world of emergency finances doesn't really give you a timely heads up to be able to adequately prepare for them. That's why we need to allocate just the right amount of money in case things like this happen.
You can put aside a part of your monthly income for emergency purposes. Should there be any reason to take them out, you would be covered financially. It could be a sickness that was not covered by your health insurance or something else. Whatever it is, it is best to be prepared in the best possible way.
You should also try and keep an emergency stash of cash that covers up three months' worth of expenses. In case of huge financial drawbacks, at least you're giving yourself and your family a three month headstart to get thing right back on track again.
We can never tell what the future holds for us. Being an optimist is a sound way to look at life, but if we are truly to survive, we have to look forward to certain things that might bring us down.
