An emergency fund is a pool of dollars which you might need during any of the following ;<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Un-expected medical expenses<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Job loss<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0An illness<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Major repairs\u00a0in house\u00a0or car<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Accident<\/p>\n
Most of the risks can be taken care of\u00a0by insurance but not all. So it\u2019s best practice to regularly sets aside some funds for the protection and having money that can assist\u00a0to manage these startling misfortunes. As a rule of thumb its best to keep three-six months of savings for an unforeseen situation. A few experts suggest saving the funds close to a year`s expenses isn\u2019t a bad idea depending upon the circumstances. Our Canadian govt. is also using the emergency\/rainy day funds right now due to covid-19 relate emergency.<\/p>\n
Dependencies;<\/p>\n
A customer who works in a salaried situation with a large company probably won\u2019t need as compared to a self-employed person. Someone with a disabled child, elderly parents will surely need the funds for a longer duration. However, if you have a specialized skill for which it takes longer than normal to find the job then you might need the funds for a year. Keep in mind that if you and your spouse are working in the same type of industry then you would need more funds because both of you might lose\u00a0the job at the same time.<\/p>\n
Where should you put the funds?<\/p>\n
Putting the money in a savings account is highly liquid and accessible. Investing the funds makes it less suitable as accessing them at a certain time could be an issue. It also depends upon where they\u00a0are invested\u00a0for example\u00a0mutual funds, money markets, segregated funds or\u00a0GICs\u00a0etc. Some experts feel that Line of credit can also be used for this, however, it\u2019s a good choice only if you don\u2019t have enough savings because it comes with a cost of interest on top of it.<\/p>\n
How important it is?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a vital risk management tool.\u00a0The lack of a proper emergency fund can have devastating financial consequences. If a person losses the job unexpectedly, employment Insurance benefits should begin, but those benefits\u00a0are limited\u00a0to about $1800 of taxable income every month. A period of unemployment of 2 or 3 months will force this person to start liquidating assets, borrowing at high interest rates from credit cards and would pile up the monthly expenses. Meeting the debt obligations would become very tough.<\/p>\n
How to build a saving for it?<\/p>\n
Make a cash flow sheet. The more detailed your cash flow will be the better you would be able to get out of it. It would help you to look at the opportunities for savings. You can\u00a0cut discretionary spending. You could look for average household spending and compare where you are as compared to average Canadian. Set a monthly saving goal. Look at your spending habits, it doesn\u2019t mean you should stop going out for alternate day lunch or weekly dinner, etc.\u00a0It\u2019s more related to\u00a0a keeping a balance between the needs and wants. Budgeting may seem negative but spending is a choice. Keep a track and you would be able to see\u00a0its not\u00a0that hard to save\u00a0 a\u00a0sufficient amount<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nThanks for reading the article! <\/p>\n
