Why This Matters
Saving isn’t just about building a cushion — it’s about creating long‑term security and freedom. A strong financial plan sets aside at least 20% of your take‑home pay for savings and investments.
This guideline ensures you’re not only prepared for emergencies, but also steadily building toward retirement readiness. By consistently saving, you give your future self the resources to live comfortably, pursue passions, and weather unexpected challenges.
