Finance Rule #04

Emergency Fund First

Before investing a single rupee, build 6 months of expenses in a liquid account.

"An emergency fund is not an investment. It is insurance for your investments."

Without an emergency fund, any unexpected expense — job loss, medical bill, car repair — forces you to liquidate your investments at the worst possible time. 6 months of expenses in a savings account or liquid fund is the foundation everything else is built on.
