How Much Emergency Cash Do You Really Need? 3 vs 6 vs 12 Months

Описание: Most people treat an emergency fund like a bad investment. But cash is not supposed to beat the stock market. Its job is to prevent forced selling, high-interest debt, and panic decisions when life and markets go wrong at the same time. In this Quantly finance explainer, we model emergency savings as liquidity insurance using 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month cash buffers, credit-card APR, unemployment runway, market drawdowns, and long-term opportunity cost. The goal is not a universal rule, but a quantitative framework for risk-adjusted cash.
