[VIDEO] While he reacts to a couple of clips of "finance bro" Dave Ramsey, the first clip he reacts to shows a young man thinking a $1K emergency fund is a stupid idea. I disagree with that although Shapiro isn't wrong to talk about how long $1K can go in an emergency, and for sure it won't last long.
Dave Ramsey advocates for that in his baby steps. If nothing else having $1K on standby is a start and you won't be staying there for sure, eventually you can grow to save enough for at least several months of living expenses.
Personal finance isn't a strong interest for me, however, you do want to know where your money is going.
