Experts Advise Prioritizing Health Insurance and Building Adequate Emergency Funds
Financial experts advise that health insurance and emergency funds serve distinct but complementary roles in personal finance. While health insurance should be prioritized early due to waiting periods and rising medical costs, building an emergency fund covering 3 to 12 months of essential expenses—including EMIs, education, and medical contingencies—is crucial, especially for families with multiple dependents. The ideal emergency fund size depends on individual circumstances such as income stability, financial commitments, and dependent needs.
