In today’s unpredictable economy, aim to save 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses for an emergency fund. This covers essentials like rent, utilities, and food if income is disrupted. Adjust based on job stability and dependents, freelancers or single parents may need closer to 9 months. Start small, automate savings, and build gradually for peace of mind.
