Description
Episode 53 of The Emergency Fund Podcast with Fexingo dives into a specific scenario: using your cash reserve to bridge income gaps when freelance or contract work dries up. Lucas and Luna break down real numbers — how much to set aside if you're a freelancer, the difference between a slow month and a full-on drought, and why a six-month buffer might not be enough for gig workers. They also touch on the psychological toll of feast-or-famine income and how an emergency fund can buy you time to pivot without panic. No fluff — just a practical guide for the growing freelance economy.
