Question

our neighbor has monthly expenses totaling $3350. His employer has indicated that the firm is expecting to announce layoffs soon. How much should your neighbor have in an emergency fund if he wants to cover 6 months of living expenses

Answer 1

Answer:

$20,100

Explanation:

You will have to multiply the monthly expenses by 6

$3,350 x 6

= $20,100

A layoff is the temporary suspension or permanent termination of employment of an employee or, more commonly, a group of employees for business reasons, such as personnel management or downsizing an organization.

When calculating how much you will need, don't plan for just your largest bills. You'll need enough to cover mortgage or rent and vehicle payments, but you will also need to pay utilities, credit cards, insurance, and buy groceries. Everything that's in your normal budget should be considered.

Though you may spend lesser since you're no longer going to work BUT you must consider your normal monthly budget.
