CA Sakchi Jain Instagram – Do you have your emergency fund?
It’s crucial to have an emergency fund that covers at least 6 months of your expenses. This should include everything from:
– Rent or mortgage payments
– Utility payments (gas, electric, water, garbage)
– Telecom payments (phone, cable, internet)
– Insurance payments (car, health, home)
– Transportation costs (car payment, gas, public transit)
– Debt payments (credit cards and all loans except mortgage)
– Grocery expenses
For instance, if your monthly expenses total ₹1,00,000, aim to have ₹6,00,000 set aside for those unexpected financial emergencies.
Keep 1-2 months of expenses (₹1,00,000 to ₹2,00,000) in a high-yield savings account and cash. This ensures immediate access when you need it most. For the remaining 4 months of expenses (₹4,00,000), consider short-term mutual funds or a fixed deposit (FD). FDs are a safer option, but always check for any premature withdrawal penalties.
