117 Emergency savings: Planning for the unplannable - a podcast by Ben D. Jones and Emily Larsen with BMO Global Asset Management

The COVID-19 crisis exposed an already dire problem – families could not come up with money for unexpected expenses, such as replacing a flat tire or repairing a busted pipe. As such, many advisors have been reemphasizing the importance of optionality and financial wellness to help their clients and communities properly prepare for these unpredictable emergencies.

Peter Welsh joins the podcast to discuss the importance of having a dedicated plan in place for dealing with unexpected expenses. Plus, he also discusses how his team has developed an after-tax emergency savings plan that starts in the workplace through paycheck deduction.
