Calculating the Amount for an Emergency Fund. Beth and Bob Martin have a total take-home pay of $3,600 a month. Their monthly expenses total $3,100. Calculate the amount the couple needs to establish an emergency fund (assume a 3 month emergency fund). How did you calculate this amount?
(See answer below)

Financial planners typically recommend creating an emergency fund equal to three to six months of living expenses. So Beth and Bob will need $3100(living expenses) times three(min)= $9300 and $3100 times six= $18, 600.
