Money & Saving
Budgets, emergency funds, taxes and making more.
▶️
Money and Saving builds the base: budget, emergency fund, taxes, and realistic ways to increase what you earn.
Kid Tapp™ overview episode
The 50/30/20 budget
- 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings and debt payoff.
- Automate the 20% on payday so you never see it.
- Track for one month before judging yourself — data first.
Emergency fund
- Start at $500, build to one month, then to three to six months of expenses.
- Keep it in a separate high-yield savings account, not your checking.
- It exists for job loss, car repairs and medical bills — nothing else.
Earning more
- Raises and skills beat coupon clipping every time.
- Side income: freelance a skill, resell, tutor, or service work in your area.
- Understand your pay stub: gross, taxes, benefits, net.
