Started putting $50 from every check into a separate account before paying bills, and after a year I had a real emergency fund. Anyone else find a simple rule that actually worked for them?

Yeah but that's just moving money around. Still got the same bills to pay. Feels like a mind trick.

Moving money around is the whole point, Eva. It's a mind trick that buys you a plane ticket when your car dies.
