<prompt> Human: Hi all, Ive decided that as a 23 year old still living at home with my parents hoping to rent an apartment soon with long term boyfriend that I should probably think about saving up an emergency fund. Im thinking that 3000 should be enough?I currently work in health care on a zero hour contract but so far havent had any trouble getting work but my monthly earnings can fluctuate.Is there any way I could arrange with my bank to take a chosen percentage of my wage out of my account and put it into another account that will be my emergency fund?Also, Im in the UK.Thanks  <response>: Its pretty common to be able to set up an automatic transfer that is a set amount i.e. 200 on the 1st of every month but I havent yet seen anyone say they could successfully get a percentage transferred over within their bank.If your employer does direct deposit, they might be able to say 75 into account A and 25 into account B though.
