Emergency Fund Kya Hota Hai?
Emergency Fund ka matlab hota hai aise paise jo sirf emergency ke time kaam aaye, jaise:
- Job chali jana
- Medical emergency
- Family crisis
- Income ka achanak ruk jana
Ye paisa investment ya shopping ke liye nahi, balki financial safety net hota hai.

👉 Emergency fund aapko loan aur tension dono se bachata hai.
