01
Credit works best with a buffer
An emergency fund reduces the chance of missed EMIs when a medical expense, job change, or family need appears unexpectedly.
02
Start small and automate
Even one month of expenses saved separately can improve resilience. Build gradually toward three to six months based on dependents and income stability.
03
Keep it liquid
Emergency money should be easy to access and low risk. Avoid locking it into products with exit penalties or high volatility.
