Savings

Any one starting out in life should save for an eventuality, such as the purchase of a car or a first home. However, as we journey down life's road, savings continue to be important, acting as a cushion against the loss of a job or an illness.

In any financial plan, 10 percent of assets should be kept liquid, in case of an unforeseen event. The question then is, where to keep these liquid assets, and the recommended first port of call is normally a bank or building society. Once the savings grow, then other savings products can be considered (link to www.andalucia.com/finance/investment.htm)
