Common Savings Goals
Emergency Fund
Three to six months of expenses. Keep it in a high-yield savings account for quick access.
Home Down Payment
Around 20% of the property price. On a three to five year timeline, favour conservative investments.
Children's Education
A long timeline of roughly 18 years allows a stock-heavy allocation.
Retirement
Around 25 times your annual expenses. The longest timeline, so index funds do the heavy lifting.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
For goals under three years, use a high-yield savings account. For three to seven years, consider a balanced portfolio. Beyond seven years, index funds offer the best growth potential. Always match investment risk to your timeline.
