Common Financial Questions

What's the difference between saving and investing?

Saving involves setting aside money in low-risk, easily accessible accounts like savings accounts or money market funds. Investing means purchasing assets like stocks, bonds, or real estate with the expectation of growth over time. Savings provide stability and liquidity, while investments offer growth potential but with higher risk.

How much should I have in an emergency fund?

Financial experts generally recommend having 3-6 months of living expenses in an emergency fund. This amount should cover essential expenses like housing, food, utilities, and minimum debt payments. The exact amount depends on your job stability, family situation, and personal comfort level.

When should I start investing?

The best time to start investing is as early as possible, even with small amounts. However, you should first have a solid financial foundation: stable income, emergency fund, and high-interest debt paid off. Starting early allows you to benefit from compound growth over time.

How do I choose the right investment strategy?

Your investment strategy should align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Consider factors like your age, income stability, debt levels, and when you'll need the money. Younger investors can typically take more risk, while those closer to retirement should focus on preservation.
