    LONG TERM SAVINGS

    All You Need to Know About Investing in Smart Savings Plans

    Last Updated On 03-08-2019

    Life is unpredictable. Unexpected expenses can sometimes knock on your door, and at other times, they might knock down your doors and explode like an avalanche. How do you provide, financially, for rainy days like these? It is advisable that you should section off at least a part of the life insurance claim settlement to an already existing emergency or rainy-day fund.

    Why you need a rainy-day fund:

    As mentioned, expenses don’t always arrive with prior notice. Sometimes you just have to be ready for gigantic expenses you did not envisage, or enormous costs that emanate from unfortunate situations such as sudden unemployment. Saving for the rainy days isn’t just some adage our grandparents swore by; this has material consequences. Having an emergency fund should be an important financial consideration for any household.

    However, planning to make provisions for emergencies requires more thought than just putting aside some money to buy an extra mattress. As a rule of thumb, your emergency fund should cover at least 6-8 months of all your day-to-day expenses. Such an amount is critical to avoid a financial crisis in case anything happens.
    The rationale is simple: putting aside some money into an emergency savings fund in an accessible relatively liquid format should be a priority for everyone. No matter how acute an investor you are, when there’s an emergency, liquidity and availability are of utmost importance. 

     

    An effective way is to invest in a smart savings insurance plan
    Never underestimate the little things in life. These little things can add up to be your savior in times of crisis. Smart savings plans offer you multiple avenues to save and grow your money. These investment plans help in channelizing your savings in a systematic and disciplined manner, ensuring that you and your family achieve your financial goals. But more importantly, these liquid investments can be of immense utility in times of immediate, sudden and absolute need. We all set aside our savings, hoping that bit by bit, it will accumulate into a substantial amount to fall back on in times of need. We all work and save ambitiously so that there’s a cushion in case we are met with a sudden blow. A smart savings plan will provide a system to this ambition.Here’s how:
