Devon’s thoughts on money management

“Even with a predictable income, cash flow can be tricky to manage. Keeping a checking account buffer can help you avoid overdrafts and cover less frequent expenses or ones that may be less predictable. And, in a pinch, it can help you avoid taking on high-interest debt if a small emergency pops up and you don’t yet have savings in place to cover it.”
