What if we save during this pandemic?
Considering that we are all facing a crisis, it should be best to save money for now – be it for supplies, hospital bills or our basic necessities.
As we have mentioned before, it would be useless to make any investment decisions where you are expecting returns and wealth creation.
Most of us might avoid the stock market and shift our money to various government savings schemes, but that won’t provide much returns either.
Due to the downturn in the economy, the Government has slashed interest rates on these schemes to discourage deposits.
To reduce the negative effects of unfortunate events on your family’s future, starting financial planning as early as possible is a must for parents.
Therefore, at this time, it’s for the best if you keep all your money aside for emergencies.
