7. Family Emergencies

Lack of savings can be often something that runs in the family, and we need to help family members with their own emergencies from time to time. It could be paying for a sibling’s medical bills, or helping with your child’s college tuition once their loan has run dry. Then, there are costs that you’ll expect, and yet not really plan a budget for, like family weddings, baby showers, and birthdays.

To be part of a family, it costs money. So, next time you attend a family event, figure out a budget and enjoy spending time with your family, rather than thinking about the hole in your pocket. Next time you receive an invitation to a birthday or wedding, plan ahead and put some money aside for a gift or need. That way, you’ll be more relaxed and feel good for planning ahead.
