Perhaps we could just solve this by asking Dave Ramsey. Just tell him Craig at http://www.moneyhelpforchristians.com wants to know. I’d appreciate the publicity!
Congrats on the fully funded emergency fund. It is an amazing feeling isn’t it?

Marshall, I think Dave would definitely agree with #2. Even if it's just building in a little extra cushion on top of your emergency fund so that you can bless others. Emergency funding feels so key to a healthy financial life. We got ours fully funded in November and it was such a gratifying experience. The more you have, the less likely you are to make impulse/unwise purchases. .-= Andrew @ Earn Give Save´s last blog ..Blogging in the new decade: our goals for 2010 =-.

I of course like #2. I don’t think I’ve heard Dave Ramsey mention that one. In fact, I’m not even sure how much he’d agree. But I like it. That’s richness.

Great advice, Craig! Putting your emergency fund in a high yield saving account should be fine. The good thing of having an emergency fund is that you tend to have a positive views on most things because you feel safe financially. And the #4 point above is very true! Thanks
