Be Prepared: Building an Emergency Fund for the Unexpected ??

Welcome to this week's edition of Finance ke Funde! ??

In today's edition, we'll discuss the importance of emergency funds and how to build one. Meet our protagonist for today's newsletter - Rohan ????, a young professional who has recently started his first job.

Rohan: ???? "Hey Sanchit, I just started my first job, and I'm trying to figure out how to manage my finances. I've heard a lot about emergency funds, but I'm not sure what they are or why they're important."

Sanchit: ?? "Hi, Rohan. An emergency fund is a savings account that you set up specifically for unexpected expenses, such as a medical emergency or job loss. Having one is important because it gives you a safety net to fall back on in financial emergencies, without having to rely on credit cards or loans."

Rohan: ???? "Oh, I see. So how do I go about building an emergency fund?"

Sanchit: ?? "Building an emergency fund is a gradual process. Start by setting a savings goal for yourself, and then create a budget that includes regular contributions to your emergency fund. You can also automate your savings by setting up a direct deposit or automatic transfer from your paycheck into your emergency fund account. As your income increases, you can increase the amount you save each month."

Rohan: ???? "That makes sense. I'll start working on building an emergency fund. Thanks for your help, Sanchit!"

Sanchit: ?? "You're welcome, Rohan. Remember to keep your emergency fund in a liquid account so you can withdraw money easily, and keep it separate from your other savings and investment accounts."

Takeaway:

1. Emergency funds are savings accounts set up specifically for unexpected expenses.
2. It is important to have an emergency fund as it gives you a safety net to fall back on in financial emergencies.
3. Building an emergency fund is a gradual process; start by setting a savings goal, creating a budget, and automating your savings.
4. Keep your emergency fund in a liquid account and separate it from your other savings and investment accounts.
