How to Build a Emergency Fund.

Emergency Fund 101

A Thread 👇

Inspiration -- @FI_InvestIndia

 What is an emergency fund?

An emergency fund is a bank account with money set aside to pay for large, unexpected expenses, such as:

- Unforeseen medical expenses.

- Home-appliance repair or replacement.

- Major car fixes.

- Unemployment.
Importance of an emergency fund

Life is full of unexpected situations – good and bad.

Hence, apart from other things, you need to be prepared for it financially.
While you can plan for some foreseeable expenses, an emergency fund can help you manage all unplanned expenses efficiently.

The current pandemic is an example of one such unplanned expense.
People with an emergency fund are in a much better position to manage this lockdown than those who don’t.
During financially difficult times, an emergency fund can help you stay afloat without having to rely on credit cards or loans.

If you already have loans that you are paying off, then an emergency fund can help you avoid borrowing more.
How Much Emergency Fund Do You Need?

Every individual has different financial needs.

Each individual has a unique combination of lifestyle, dependents, income, and unavoidable expenses.
Hence, the figure will be different for all.

Before calculating the amount of the emergency fund you need, it is important to calculate the minimum amount you need to get through the unavoidable monthly expenses.
This should include house rent, loan installments, utility bills, etc.

Ensure that you don’t include avoidable expenses that movies, travel, etc. in this amount.
Once you know your monthly expense, try to create a cash fund that can help you survive three-six months without any income.
Given the current situation, most people will agree that six months of basic living expenses stashed as an emergency fund is a must at all times to manage exigencies efficiently.
Where Should You Keep Your Emergency Fund?

Once you have finalized the amount of the emergency fund you need to build and start working towards saving it, it is important to find a good place to keep it.
A savings account is a logical choice since it offers liquidity that is highly important during a crisis.
You can look for a savings account offering a high rate of interest with no minimum balance requirements or heavy fees.

However, another important aspect of an emergency fund is that you will not need it regularly.
Hence, rather than accepting the returns offered by a savings account, you can consider investing a part of this fund in an instrument that offers high liquidity and returns better than savings accounts.
Some mutual funds offer easy liquidity and better returns than savings accounts while keeping risks minimal.
These are liquid funds.

By investing a sizable part of the emergency fund in these schemes, liquidity is ensured since you can redeem within a couple of days.

Average returns on liquid funds hover around the 6-8% mark.
Another important aspect of an emergency fund is building it.

Let’s say that your basic living expenses are Rs.40,000.

Therefore, you will need to save between Rs.2-2.5 lakh as your emergency fund.

Considering the increasing costs of living, this can take time.
You can reach this goal faster by using a debt mutual fund.
With low risks and an opportunity to earn good returns, these funds can help you create the corpus in a shorter period.

You can consider starting a systematic investment plan (SIP) and automate your savings and investments.
You can also invest your annual bonus in these funds to reach the target sooner.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

PETER PADUKAM - THE LEGEND OF MADURAI MEENAKSHI TEMPLE AND A BRITISH COLLECTOR.

A British Collector named Rous Peter was appointed as Collector of Madurai from 1812 to 1828.

Though a Christian by faith, he respected all faiths including Hinduism and also honored local practice


Collector Peter was the temple administrator of the Meenakshi Amman Temple and conducted all his duties with sincerity and honesty and respected the religious sentiments of all people.

Collector Rous Peter respected and treated people of all faiths equally and this noble trait

earned him the popular nickname ‘Peter Pandian'

Goddess Meenakshi Amman Temple was situated between Collector Peter's residence and office.

Everyday he used to go to the office by his horse and while crossing the temple, he got down from his horse, removed the hat and his shoes

and crossed the whole path on his foot.

Through this small gesture he expressed his reverence to the Goddess!

One day there was a heavy downpour in Madurai city and River Vaigai was in spate.

Collector was sleeping in his residence and was suddenly disturbed and woken up by

the sound of anklets and he left his bed to find out from where the sound had came.

He saw a small girl wearing pattuvastrams (silk garments) and precious ornaments and addressing him as 'Peter come this way'.

1. There are more people added on the list of arrests and executions of famous people but no further intel is available at this time.

ARRESTS and EXECUTIONS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE 2020 UPDATED
Explanation of the latest military tribunal arrests and executions of famous people in 2020.

2. The tribunals are arresting these people in plain clothes. We saw the Obama’s arrest, although we didn’t know it was an arrest at the time. The arrest was done nonchalantly so as to not get noticed by the public.
All arrests of these famous people were done this way.

3. If the person is convicted of child sex trafficking, crimes against humanity or treason, they will be executed.
If the person arrested has evidence on someone else to help their prosecution, or is willing to help Trump, & they want to cooperate, they may be allowed to do so.

4. A sentence of execution down to life in prison may be accepted if their evidence is worth anything.
When a plea deal is done, the defendant must present evidence they have to make their sentence lighter. This information is given to the prosecution, defense, and to the judge.

5. If evidence is accepted, they are presented the plea deal. They will have to make a guilty plea to the crime with a video confession & written statement. That is how all plea deals work.

All famous people arrested were either treasonous or involved in satanic worship rituals.
