I see that many of you actually liked the concept of 20 % method wherein you allot 20% of your earnings to be saved as emergency fund.
So I was thinking, if that 20% allotted will be invested in a time deposit kind of account, will it still be possible to earn as much or invest it in cryptocurrency? Or maybe just let the money sleep until such time you will need it?
What will be a wise kove to do with the noney you have saved up?
Emergency funds are not to be deposited in a time deposit account. Time deposit accounts have specific time before you can withdraw it and you can never tell when you are in need of it. Also it is not wise to invest emergency funds because you are doing away with the main purpose of such savings.
Best thing to do with your savings is to invest, except for emergency fund. From the word emergency ,it means that funds always be ready because we dont know when we can use it. Emergencies is unpredectable. And when we allocated a money, savings and emergency fund is not the same. For the savings, it is not a good idea to put in just a bank.if you want to grow your savings ,it best to invest like the cryptocurrency
Yes, I agree with you on this that the best thing to do with the savings is to invest it. Emergency fund must always be there untouched at all times it must be separate from other money. And if you are serious about saving money quickly, consider putting a temporary stop to dining out, visiting the movie theater, and grabbing Friday night drinks with friends. Sometimes it is the cause of unexpected expenses that will eventually lead to using the money you intended for something more important.
