Why people save money for future use
There are various reasons why people save money. According to Bank Rate, a website that shares financial information, one reason people save is to have money for emergency situations.
It says:
“One of the most important savings goals everyone should have is building an emergency fund. The purpose of an emergency fund is to ensure that you can afford various expenses caused by sudden and unexpected life events, including medical costs, sudden unemployment, natural disasters, home repairs and family emergencies. It can also give you peace of mind to know that if such an emergency were to arise, you wouldn’t have to struggle to cover the costs of living.”
It says there are different saving strategies, depending on the goal.
It states:
“The sooner you start saving for your goals, the more likely you’ll achieve them faster. It’s important to list your various goals and develop savings strategies for both short-term goals and long-term goals.”
