When Jamila Souffrant found out she was pregnant with her third kid, she was working a full-time corporate job while building her financial freedom blog and brand.
To set herself up to walk away from corporate America, Souffrant started ramping up her "FU fund," which she describes as "an emergency savings fund on crack."
Souffrant set out to save enough where they could cover one year's worth of expenses between Woody's salary and her FU fund.
AdvertisementFor about a year, Souffrant decreased her contributions to her retirement savings and investment account to beef up her FU fund, which she kept in a high-yield savings account.
Souffrant encourages anyone who is pursuing financial independence to build an FU fund.
