If your emergency fund is the first and last resource then it will never be the right decision. It is never right to take money from emergency fund for small financial crisis.
You can divide your funds into 3 levels. Such as cash, reserve fund, emergency fund. If you build your funds in this way then it will be much better for you. For example you can take money from cash to deal with small financial crisis, you can take money from reserve fund to deal with big financial crisis and finally if you do not have any money then you can take money from your emergency fund.
You cannot build 3 things at the same time. So first you have to build an emergency fund and after that you have to build it gradually. But if you delay investing to create this fund, it will never be the right decision. You will have to create the funds along with the investment.
