ARE YOU SAVING TOWARDS THAT EMERGENCY FUND?

Company lay offs, medical needs, home repairs are just but a few examples of emergencies that happen when
you least expect Them
In life you should expect the.
unexpected , and this is why you need
an emergency fund . The best you can
do is to prepare for emergencies that
require access to additional money
and having an emergency fund is the
ideal solution .
The very last thing you want
to do when you are faced with such emergencies is to be forced to rely on credit cards or loans which could simply compound the problem.

HOW BIG SHOULD YOUR EMERGENCY
FUND BE?
Most experts agree that you should
keep between three and six months
worth of your living expenses set
aside in your emergency fund.
Depending on your specific situation
and whether or not you have children ,
carry substantial debt and types of
insurance coverage will determine
what amount is best for you.
The reason you want to have three to
six months of expenses saved up is
that the most common reason for the
need of an emergency fund is due to
a sudden loss of income . If you or
your spouse loses a job you still have
bills to pay and it may take a few
months to find suitable new
employment . It is best to plan for a
worst- cast scenario so that the smaller
emergencies such as replacing the hot
water heater that just went out will be
easily covered.

START SMALL
If you currently don’t have an
emergency fund or find it difficult to
save money the key is to start small.
You have to realize that accumulating
one month’ s worth of expenses will
take some time, let alone three to six
months. If you set your immediate
goals to be small and manageable you
will have a better chance in reaching
them .
The best way to get started would
probably be through your bank. Open
up a new savings account if you
currently don ’t have one and begin to
save with this first. The next step is to
get into the habit of making regular
deposits into this account. Whether it
is weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, create
a schedule and stick to it . Once you
make saving automatic you won ’t even
have to think about it .
If you feel it is difficult to begin saving
simply start with a small amount .
Maybe you begin with Kshs 700 a week
initially . While this won ’t amount add
up all that quickly the important thing
is to start putting something away and
to make it a habit . After a few weeks
you won’t even notice that Kshs 700 missing so you can increase it up to Ksh 1050 or Kshs 1400
after a month or so. You will begin to
get used to that money not being
there and can slightly increase it
again .

WHERE TO KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY FUND
You should start with a savings
account because it is simple to use
and generally does not cost anything.
The convenience factor is what is
important when getting started . As
your account grows you will want to
find an account that can earn
reasonable interest so that your
money is working for you. The next
best options to look into are money
market accounts or certificate of
deposits ( CDs).
It is important to keep this emergency
fund in a place that will fairly liquid so
that you can get to the money quickly
in the event of an emergency . You
also don’t want to have this money
tied into stocks or mutual funds
because the volatility of the market
could cause you to lose money over
the short - term.

So have you started saving towards that emergency fund?

WARREN BUFFET:THE "ORACLE OF OMAHA"

He ranks among the wealthiest men on planet earth, according to Forbes.com, so why not share his biography so that we can get inspired!

Warren Buffett, the man who we've all
come to know as the " Oracle of
Omaha ," was born in Omaha ,
Nebraska. His dad was a man named
Howard Buffett . Howard was a
stockbroker and United States
Representative . Warren 's mom was
named Leila Buffett . The young Buffett
began working at his father' s
brokerage at the age of 11 . It was
around this time that he made his first
stock purchase. Warren bought shares
of a company called Cities Services for
$38 each. He later sold the shares of
Cities Services stock when the price
reached approximately $ 40, only to
see them rocket to $ 200 a few years
later. This taught him the importance
of investing in good companies for
the long term . At the age of 14 he
spent $ 1, 200 he had saved up from
two paper routes to buy 40 acres of
farmland which he then rented to
tenant farmers.

The Wharton School at the University
of Pennsylvania was where Warren
Buffett initially went to school.
However, he later transferred to the
University of Nebraska. There he
began his interest in investing after
reading Benjamin Graham 's The
Intelligent Investor . He obtained a
Master' s degree in economics in 1951
at Columbia Business School , studying
under Benjamin Graham , alongside
other future value investors including
Walter Schloss and Irving Kahn .

This is something few people realize,
but another important influence on
Warren 's investment philosophy was
the well known investor and writer
Philip Fisher. Odds are you might
never have even heard of him. Well,
after Warren earned the only A+
Benjamin Graham ever handed out to
a student in his securities analysis
class, Buffett wanted to work at
Graham-Newman but was initially
turned down. ( Can you imagine that?!)
Warren instead went to work at his
father's brokerage firm as a
representative until Graham offered
him a position in 1954. Warren Buffett
returned to Omaha two years later,
when Graham retired .

Buffett established Buffett Associates,
Ltd. , his first investment partnership,
in 1956. It was financed by $ 100 from
Buffett, the general partner, and
$105 , 000 from seven limited partners
consisting of Buffett' s family and
friends. Buffett created several
additional partnerships which were
later consolidated as Buffett
Partnership Limited . He ran the
partnerships out of his bedroom,
adhering closely to Graham' s
investment approach and
compensation structure. These
investments made in excess of 30%
compounded annually between 1956
to 1969 , in a market where 7 % to 11%
was the norm . Buffett employed a
three- pronged approach:

GENERALS: undervalued securities that
possess margin of safety and meet
expected return- to-risk characteristics .

ARBITRAGES: company events that are
not related to broader market
changes, such as mergers and
acquisitions, liquidation, etc .

CONTROLS : build sizeable holdings , ally with other shareholders or employ
proxies to affect changes in
companies.

In 1962 Buffett Partnerships began
purchasing shares of Berkshire
Hathaway, a large manufacturing
company in the declining textile
industry that was selling below its
working capital . Buffett would
eventually dissolve all his partnerships
to focus on running Berkshire
Hathaway. At the time, Charlie
Munger, Berkshire' s current Vice
Chairman, remarked that purchasing
the company was a mistake, due to
the failure of the textile industry .
Berkshire, however , became one of
the largest holding companies in the
world, as Buffett redirected the
company 's excess cash to acquire
private businesses and stocks of
public companies . At the core of his
strategy were insurance companies ,
due to the large cash reserves (" float")
they must keep on hand to pay out
future claims. Essentially , the insurer
does not own the float, but may invest
it and keep any proceeds.

Under the influence of his friend and
business partner Charlie Munger,
Buffett's investment approach moved
away from a strict adherence to
Graham's principles, and he began to
focus on high-quality businesses with
enduring competitive advantages. He
described such advantages as a
"moat " that kept rivals at a safe
distance, as opposed to commodity
businesses , which sell
undifferentiated products and face
direct competition. A classic example
of a wide -moat company is Coca- Cola,
because consumers are willing to pay
more for a Coke than for a generic
beverage with a similar taste . On the
other hand , salt is considered a
commodity product because
consumers generally have no
preferences for one brand of salt over
another.

Investment in wide -moat businesses
has become a hallmark of Berkshire
Hathaway, particularly when buying
whole companies rather than public
stocks. As a result, it now owns a large
number of businesses which are
dominant players in their respective
industries, specialize in various niche
markets, or possess other unique
characteristics to separate them from
their competitors .

My hope is that you got inspired by the great investor's biography.
