How much should the emergency reserves be?

How much should the emergency reserves be?

The salary... but why still doesn't feel very reassuring?

Many people don't spend money less well.

But there are more "unexpected things" in life.

Understand the term Emergency Fund

Emergency reserves are not investment money, not travel money.

And not money waiting to shop.

But it's "money that saves us from breaking down.

On the day life stumbles. "

How much should there be?

The simple core most people use is

🌱 Singles About 3-6 months of expenses

🌱 Family / Kids / Free Lance About 6-12 Months

For example, if the cost is 20,000 baht per month, the minimum reserve may be 120,000 baht.

You don't have to have it all in one day. Gradually build.

How to start?

Some people think, "There's a lot of money to start collecting."

But actually, the emergency reserves

Let's start with a little discipline.

Let's start with

✨ salary out → split before use

✨ 50-100 baht per day

✨ There's a dedicated separate account.

Because of stability.

Always start with small things.

We'll start to understand that.

"Emergency reserves" are not meant to get rich fast.

But it's the money that saves us from rushing down.

Life time is unexpected.

Gradually, pick it up.

Don't be good at finance from day one. 🌱

Maybe... the peace of mind of life.

Maybe start with the little money we prepared for ourselves.

Tell the story of life, finances and what no one tells about the word "risk."

📍 follow "I think for you."

... Read moreการมีเงินสำรองฉุกเฉินถือเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่ช่วยให้เรารับมือกับสถานการณ์ที่ไม่คาดฝัน เช่น การเจ็บป่วยที่ต้องรักษา, การตกงาน, หรือค่าใช้จ่ายฉุกเฉินอื่น ๆ ที่อาจกระทบต่อการเงินในชีวิตประจำวัน ผมเองพบว่าการเริ่มต้นเก็บเงินสำรองฉุกเฉินไม่จำเป็นต้องรอเงินเยอะ ตั้งแต่เริ่มทำงาน ผมแบ่งเงินเดือนออกมาเฉพาะสำหรับเงินฉุกเฉินก่อนใช้จ่ายอย่างอื่น ซึ่งแม้จะเป็นจำนวนเล็ก ๆ เช่น 50-100 บาทต่อวัน แต่สะสมไปเรื่อย ๆ ก็ช่วยให้มีก้อนเงินที่พร้อมใช้ในเวลาจำเป็น นอกจากปริมาณเงินที่เหมาะสมแล้ว การมีบัญชีเงินฝากแยกสำหรับเงินสำรองฉุกเฉินช่วยป้องกันการใช้จ่ายโดยไม่ตั้งใจ และยังช่วยเสริมวินัยทางการเงินอีกด้วย อีกทั้งยังควรปรับยอดเงินสำรองตามสถานการณ์ที่เปลี่ยนไป เช่น เมื่อเริ่มมีครอบครัวหรือมีลูก ค่าใช้จ่ายจะสูงขึ้นกว่าช่วงเป็นโสด จึงต้องเพิ่มเงินสำรองให้เพียงพอกับค่าใช้จ่ายที่เพิ่มขึ้นด้วย ผมขอแชร์ประสบการณ์ว่าการมีเงินสำรองฉุกเฉินไม่ใช่แค่ทำให้เรารู้สึกปลอดภัยทางการเงินเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นการลดความเครียดและความกังวลใจในช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากได้ด้วย ความมั่นคงทางการเงินถูกร้อยเรียงจากความมีวินัยในการออมเล็ก ๆ ที่ทำอย่างต่อเนื่อง เหมือนกับการก้าวเล็ก ๆ ที่สะสมจนสร้างพื้นฐานที่แข็งแรงสำหรับอนาคตในวันที่อาจเจอกับความไม่แน่นอน ดังนั้นไม่ว่าคุณจะเริ่มต้นตอนนี้ หรือเคยหยุดพักการออมมาก่อน อย่าลังเลที่จะเริ่มวางแผนเงินสำรองฉุกเฉิน ถือเป็นวินัยที่สำคัญที่สุดอย่างหนึ่งสำหรับการจัดการชีวิตและวางแผนอนาคตอย่างมั่นคง
