2. You Have an Emergency Fund
Life is unpredictable, and unexpected expenses can arise at any moment. An emergency fund provides a safety net, ensuring you can handle unforeseen circumstances without derailing your financial stability. Ideally, this fund should cover 3-6 months of living expenses.

Healthy financial management includes being able to make regular debt payments and having a plan to pay off your debts in a reasonable timeframe.
