I disagree with dave's advice here. If he needs only 30k, I would leave the investments as is and build the emergency fund from scratch. That's what anyone who didn't start saving would do anyway. If there was a dire emergency, he could always pull money out of the brokerage account. It's not like the 430k+ is going to go down to zero or anything. It's just gonna keep growing. No need to pay capital gains tax on it.

Personally, I think you could leave those investments. They will accrue more value over time. To build your emergency fund, cut down a ton on any spending you do. Rice and beans like Dave says. Do that for a few months and you will have your 3-6 month emergency fund saved.

Dave’s point is it’s psychological. Having it as investments and not an Em. Fund means that when a rainy day comes, you’re less likely to cash it out when necessary. Also, you might need cash quickly for your emergency and sometimes it can take a week or two to cash out investments and get a check. Better to have your emergency money where you can get it easily.

Can’t you just leave your emergency fund and grow it? A strong defense is also a strong offense
30k is a lot when its compounding. If you really want to build the emergency fund keep the 30k there and just stop investing and fund the EF.

Thank god I don’t have to lower the volume for the intro on these videos anymore! Also, if that $30k is in a high yield savings account, it won’t “grow” but it will be safe and also earning .50% so that’d earn 10x the national average currently. Might as well have “insurance” that gives you something.

Save from your job , let your investments grow , if you had no job I guess pull from investments and invest in a high yield savings for an emergency fund to liquidate fast .
I’d suggest maybe use the dividends from the investments to help build up the emergency fund, and pause investing until it’s fully funded. It could save some money on taxes by not realizing a capital gain.

There still taxes
If investing on your own with 400k you can regain 30k quick. It is a problem to get there though when you don't have a lot to start with.
So, he should pull out that money from his investments (where it is getting higher returns) now so that, in the event of an emergency in the future, he doesn't have to pull that money out of his investments then? I mean, I get it is just the psychological action to prevent him from using his credit card instead. But this is someone who said he cut up his credit cards recently and doesn't have debt....
ChampaBay* 😏
I don’t get it.. why he needs to pull 30k from the 401k just for emergency funds! Why no just keep saving small amounts and if you have an emergency get the money from the 401k if you have emergency funds with easy access you will everything will look like an emergency when is not.

@@believer1899 I understand it’s not a huge chunk of his investment portfolio. However, it is a lot of money especially for a 3-6 month emergency fund.

I’m not hating, but the average American barely has enough to cover a $1k emergency so it comes off as a little tone deaf.

Why not treat the investment as an emergency fund? Leave the money where it is unless you absolutely need it in an emergency? It's pretty liquid and you only get taxed on capital gains if you take it out.
@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303

They are assuming that discipline is nonexistent. If he treats the investment as an EF and say he always goes to use it as an EF, then he will deplete it faster and maybe even use it to buy things he does not need. If you separate accounts and make it harder on yourself to access it, the better chance you will never touch it and it can be used as intended. For instance, I have $3k in savings and $3k in checking. I know the $3k in savings is my emergency fund and it is going to need a fund transfer in order for me to use it in my checking account. That is a boundary I created for myself. Instead, I decide to throw all $6k in checking. I will assume I actually have $6k and most likely spend all of it because there is nothing triggering that this amount is needed to satisfy two different purposes.
