4 Smart Money Moves to Make During the Coronavirus Outbreak

1. ASSESS YOUR EMERGENCY FUND

Ideally, an emergency fund should contain 6 months of expenses in savings for job loss, unexpected medical bills, or large home expenses.

If you have an emergency fund, look at ways you can reduce your monthly spending and make your savings last as long as possible.

In the event that you don’t have any savings, but are still employed, try to cut back on non-essential expenses and start putting aside some money to create an emergency fund.

2. REVISE YOUR BUDGET

Taking stock of your monthly expenses and revising your budget is definitely among the smart money moves to make during the coronavirus outbreak.

To get a better sense of what you are spending, review your expenses from the last 2-3 months and determine any that are not essential.

Based on this information, create a bare-bones budget, determine your spending triggers, and devise strategies for reducing your expenses.

3. BE SAVVY WITH YOUR INVESTMENTS

Being a savvy and steady investor during a pandemic is an absolute  must. This means reevaluating your financial goals, assessing risk tolerance, and possibly rebalancing a portfolio that has a disproportionate amount of stocks or bonds.

4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND ESTATE PLAN

Smart money moves to make during the coronavirus outbreak are designed to protect your finances and family.

As such, it is important to have an emergency and estate plan to make sure your affairs are in order. Ensure that you have sufficient life insurance, long-term disability insurance, an updated will or trust, and a family emergency binder with all pertinent documents and information.
