An emergency fund is a safety net that you should not be without.Your emergency savings must not be tied up in a fixed deposit account or subject to volatility as an investment in shares can be. (INSET) As a parent,plan for every eventualit­y, budget like a machine,while it’s important to save for your children’s education, don’t do it at the expense of your own retirement. And don’t forget to have a will.
