The Story That Changed How We Think About Emergency Funds, with Tanya Taylor.
Description
Tanya Taylor’s story is the kind that makes you want to immediately check your savings account and maybe your insurance policy too. She moved from rural Jamaica to the US at 16 with just $100, built an incredible career, grew a seven-figure investment portfolio, and did everything “right” financially, only for one devastating accident to turn her world upside down. In this episode, Tanya shares how budgeting, goal-setting, and long-term investing helped her build wealth from scratch, why emergency funds matter far more than most of us think, and what she learned after being forced to start again. It’s part money masterclass, part resilience lesson, and part gentle-but-firm reminder to stop treating your emergency fund like it’s there for cheeky little treats.
And if this conversation gets you thinking about protecting your income too, we mentioned our insurance episode in the chat, you can listen to that here. (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5rBV0ZoDcNFjVaLhoQAjTk?si=fe362e2a5eaf4d55)
