Hi, my name is Anthony and I'm from England. And this question is, are you good at saving money?

And I'm okay at saving money. I do have a separate savings account to my regular bank account and I always try to keep three months' wages in there as backup. So just in case there's an emergency or I lost my job, I feel comfortable that I know I've got at least three months' safety net to kind of tide me over until I can find a new job.

And I had to use it recently because in one week, I've had some bad luck. I had a leaky pipe in my apartment and the transmission broke on my car. So it was expensive to get both of those things fixed. And I was lucky that I had my savings to fall back on. So right now, my savings, I don't have so much, but I'm going to slowly start building them again and make sure I have a little bit of money saved over each month, just to make sure that I can keep those savings topped up.
