Background
An emergency fund of three to six months of essential expenses protects you from having to borrow at high rates when something unexpected happens. Once that buffer is in place, extra savings can go towards longer-term goals and investments.
Compounding is the reason long-term saving works: returns earn further returns, so the growth curve steepens over time. The same maths works against you with debt, which is why credit card balances at around 27% a year grow quickly if only minimum payments are made.
