Built up an emergency fund

After seeing my father once admitted in my teenage I always wanted to take care of a health fund and good insurance for everyone in my family first.

After saving and depriving myself of a few things. I have built an emergency fund of 20L.

The next goal is to make myself a spare 1 year runway so I don’t eat into my current emergency funds if I have to sit out for any reason.

@PastelBlue97 , I thought it should be the first thing I make. A backup to cover any medical expenses that come to me regardless how it's going for me financially

How much wealth have you created yourself?

  1. Real estate (invested value)
