How to Build a Emergency Fund.

Emergency Fund 101

A Thread 👇

Inspiration -- @FI_InvestIndia

 What is an emergency fund?

An emergency fund is a bank account with money set aside to pay for large, unexpected expenses, such as:

- Unforeseen medical expenses.

- Home-appliance repair or replacement.

- Major car fixes.

- Unemployment.
Importance of an emergency fund

Life is full of unexpected situations – good and bad.

Hence, apart from other things, you need to be prepared for it financially.
While you can plan for some foreseeable expenses, an emergency fund can help you manage all unplanned expenses efficiently.

The current pandemic is an example of one such unplanned expense.
People with an emergency fund are in a much better position to manage this lockdown than those who don’t.
During financially difficult times, an emergency fund can help you stay afloat without having to rely on credit cards or loans.

If you already have loans that you are paying off, then an emergency fund can help you avoid borrowing more.
How Much Emergency Fund Do You Need?

Every individual has different financial needs.

Each individual has a unique combination of lifestyle, dependents, income, and unavoidable expenses.
Hence, the figure will be different for all.

Before calculating the amount of the emergency fund you need, it is important to calculate the minimum amount you need to get through the unavoidable monthly expenses.
This should include house rent, loan installments, utility bills, etc.

Ensure that you don’t include avoidable expenses that movies, travel, etc. in this amount.
Once you know your monthly expense, try to create a cash fund that can help you survive three-six months without any income.
Given the current situation, most people will agree that six months of basic living expenses stashed as an emergency fund is a must at all times to manage exigencies efficiently.
Where Should You Keep Your Emergency Fund?

Once you have finalized the amount of the emergency fund you need to build and start working towards saving it, it is important to find a good place to keep it.
A savings account is a logical choice since it offers liquidity that is highly important during a crisis.
You can look for a savings account offering a high rate of interest with no minimum balance requirements or heavy fees.

However, another important aspect of an emergency fund is that you will not need it regularly.
Hence, rather than accepting the returns offered by a savings account, you can consider investing a part of this fund in an instrument that offers high liquidity and returns better than savings accounts.
Some mutual funds offer easy liquidity and better returns than savings accounts while keeping risks minimal.
These are liquid funds.

By investing a sizable part of the emergency fund in these schemes, liquidity is ensured since you can redeem within a couple of days.

Average returns on liquid funds hover around the 6-8% mark.
Another important aspect of an emergency fund is building it.

Let’s say that your basic living expenses are Rs.40,000.

Therefore, you will need to save between Rs.2-2.5 lakh as your emergency fund.

Considering the increasing costs of living, this can take time.
You can reach this goal faster by using a debt mutual fund.
With low risks and an opportunity to earn good returns, these funds can help you create the corpus in a shorter period.

You can consider starting a systematic investment plan (SIP) and automate your savings and investments.
You can also invest your annual bonus in these funds to reach the target sooner.

RT-PCR corona (test) scam

Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


2/12

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


3/12

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu


4/12

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID


5/12

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.

Scholars believe word’s origin in Vedas,known as Swasti mantra;

"🕉स्वस्ति ना इन्द्रो वृधश्रवाहा
स्वस्ति ना पूषा विश्ववेदाहा
स्वस्तिनास्तरक्ष्यो अरिश्तनेमिही
स्वस्तिनो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु"


It translates to," O famed Indra, redeem us. O Pusha, the beholder of all knowledge, redeem us. Redeem us O Garudji, of limitless speed and O Bruhaspati, redeem us".

SWASTIK’s COSMIC ORIGIN
