I think the best thing is to have a nest egg worth 3 months of your salary, this will be used for when you lose your job. Next is get insurances, grow up and an adult it's good for you. Lastly is invest, not in banks but in stocks, businesses or in this particular situation crypto currencies. This worked for.me so far and i don't need to worry about stuff becauss im covered.

I think allocating 20% of emergency savings to invest in cryptocurrency is worth a try, although a little risky but worth doing, you should choose the right investment, you can also try on short term deposits and expect a little interest, or you invest your money in stocks return the profit briefly.

Though, emergency fund is very significant in an unexpected situations, you can put all the funds not in a time deposit bank account but you can rather put it all for an investment of cryptocurrency. Afterall, when the time comes that you really need the money, then you can withdraw your funds from your soft-wallet. At least, the profits you earned from your investment in cryptocurrency will grow faster and higher than putting all your money in time deposit.

To tell you honestly, I considered my online wallet as my emergency funds for example, unexpected expenses, sickness and other situations.

I see that many of you actually liked the concept of 20 % method wherein you allot 20% of your earnings to be saved as emergency fund.
When I allot a portion of my salary to save, I wouldn't call it as emergency fund. There's a belief here that you are expecting something is about to happen so you are trying to save for emergency, we are plainly calling it as savings.

So I was thinking, if that 20% allotted will be invested in a time deposit kind of account
Time deposit in the bank? How much you will save there? are you aware that there are taxes and the interest rate for time deposit isn't suitable for small deposits?

will it still be possible to earn as much or invest it in cryptocurrency?
No, you won't earn that much in time deposit but it assures you that with the period of time you stored your money there, you have something to pull in your pocket in the future. I have few savings in the bank but most of my money is in bitcoin.

Or maybe just let the money sleep until such time you will need it?
If you don't need the money right away, invest to crypto - this is a better choice than putting it on time deposit.

What will be a wise kove to do with the noney you have saved up?
I'm not an expert though but it is wise if you let your money sleep in a crypto that you believe in like bitcoin rather than let it sleep on the bank and earn pennies for years.

Emergency funds are not to be deposited in a time deposit account. Time deposit accounts have specific time before you can withdraw it and you can never tell when you are in need of it. Also it is not wise to invest emergency funds because you are doing away with the main purpose of such savings.



Best thing to do  with your savings is to invest, except for emergency fund. From the word emergency ,it means that funds always be ready because we dont know when we can use it.  Emergencies is unpredectable. And when  we allocated a money, savings and emergency fund is not the same. For the savings, it is not a good idea to put in just a bank.if you want to grow your savings ,it best to invest like the cryptocurrency

I actually invest rather than keeping or saving my money without any interest. Though cryptocurrency is risky, uncertain, volatile and may crash anytime it will still be profitable for a savings but choosing the right coin will make sense. I saved my money in cryptocurrency and it actually has good result and I can have it whenever I need it most. I don't put my money in banks because I don't have an account yet but I am also planning to try it soon.

When we talk about emergency fund, the money should always be ready in times of emergency so you shouldn't put it in a time deposit kind of account for you to have easy and immediate access to your funds. I don't suggest for your emergency funds to be invested in crypto either since its value is very volatile and you don't want to compromise your emergency fund to lose its value over time. You should allocate another percentage of you income for you crypto investments. Emergency funds should be easy to access and always available for you in times of trouble so you shouldn't be investing that money into something that could delay you from accessing it when something urgent that needs funding.

Just try to place those funds in a secure place and make sure that your wife or partner knows how to access it as well.

An emergency fund should not be a percentage. The point of an emergency fund is so in the event of an emergency (such as losing your job, natural disaster, etc), you have a backup to survive until you can get back on your feet. It should be a fixed amount that you think would give you enough to live without a source of income for the next few months.

If you make 1 million a year, you sure as hell aren't dedicating 200k of that to an emergency fund. Which brings me to my next point: the wealthier tend to not have a need for an emergency fund, as they store some of their worth in liquid assets such as in real estate. In the event of an emergency, they could sell those assets relatively quickly.

You could (and probably should) put it into some form of a safer investment. There are a lot of stock options out on the market that allow for pretty continual growth albeit very slow. This would be better than just leaving your money in a risky investment or just letting it sit under a mattress somewhere because at least you collect some interest. As you keep making money, you'll end up with more in that emergency fund until it becomes something that you can actually work with in a few years/decades.
