Background
Interest in Singapore is quoted in several ways. Mortgages and savings accounts use effective annual rates, while car loans and many personal loans are advertised at flat rates that look much lower than their true cost. Banks must disclose the effective interest rate, and comparing on that basis gives a fair picture.
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.
