Ask the Readers: Do You Have Emergency Savings?

Editor's Note: Congratulations to SweeperMom, Davalyn, and Elena for winning this week's contest!

It's hard to budget for an unexpected expense — but that's what an emergency fund is for. It's a financial buffer for sudden job loss, a broken down car, a leaky roof, and other unfortunate events that life throws your way.

Do you have emergency savings? How much money do you need in your emergency fund in order to feel secure? Have you ever had to dip into her emergency savings? What was the emergency?
