maybe he would invest into bitcoin with $300 per month and use $150 per month to build up his emergency funds and/or reserve funds,
JJG Sir, I think,
Where should the money for the emergency fund come from? Money provided for basic needs or discretionary income? I think we should be a little clear on this.
From my point of view, since emergency funds are very important to make our investments sustainable, I think the money for the emergency fund should be included in the money provided for our basic needs. Because an emergency fund is very necessary to sustain our invested bitcoins and to deal with any emergency situation. So even if a person cannot afford to invest, I think it is necessary to form an emergency fund even if his basic needs expenses are reduced to a minimum.
Yes, when a healthy amount is accumulated in our emergency fund, we can bring it out of the basic needs, then we can put more money there if we want, or else we can use the money budgeted for the emergency fund to aggressively grow our bitcoin portfolio.
There are also many who want to aggressively buy Bitcoin in DIP at other times, they can create a separate fund with that money to buy Bitcoin in DIP.
Although I don't like to do this. I buy Bitcoin aggressively when I have discretionary income and when my discretionary income is low, I buy Bitcoin according to my ability.
I might understand the angle you’re driving at but it’s not right, our emergency fund cannot be factored into basic expenses because while you’re planning and budgeting for your money, the expenses being sorted are a now problem and deals with survival you have to settle that first and adding a supposed future problem solving money into the now will hinder you from properly settling the problems of Now. Emergency funds just as has been explained is gotten from your discretionary money. Emergency fund is not just important to only investors, it is important for everyone to have an emergency or reserve funds, creating this saves you from a lot of financial troubles and headaches.
