It’s the sense of real and perceived psychological comfort you get from having cash in an account earmarked for a specific purpose. It doesn’t feel like you’re hurting your financial position when it’s not coming from savings or a tight checking account.

Exactly. When the money is designated for a certain purpose it takes all the stress away. Today, for example, I was paying bills and didn’t even bat an eyelash at paying a $549 medical bill.

In full.

The money is in an account marked emergency/medical. I used some of that and every month, like always, I’ll add money to it.

Best. Decision. Ever.

Thanks for your clarity.
