Recently, I nearly lost my job due to a misunderstanding, which thankfully was resolved, allowing me to keep my position. However, the experience made me consider my backup plan if I were to actually lose my job.
When faced with the possibility of unemployment, my immediate concern was covering expenses such as bills, daily costs, mortgage, and insurance. Fortunately, I had been saving for emergencies, allowing me at least six months of financial stability without a job. This brought some relief. Besides the savings in my account, I also have investments in stocks and unit trusts.
Additionally, I've been managing my mortgage through a flexible loan account. This setup allows any extra payments to reduce the principal, thereby lowering interest. The extra payments are withdrawable if needed, which I find beneficial. I consistently pay more each month with the aim to settle the mortgage within five years. This approach provides a decent emergency buffer while also reducing loan interest.
The key takeaway is the importance of having backup funds for emergencies. Many people today can't sustain even a month without their primary income. It may seem unnecessary now, but if you ever find yourself in this situation, the reality will hit hard. I recommend having an emergency fund to cover at least six months of living expenses.
