How much should you save?

Experts say that your emergency fund should be three times your monthly salary. This would cover you for any periods when you might be out of work or for large costs that might crop up. This can be a fairly hefty amount, particularly if you've got an expanding family or debt that you need to rein in!

It is important though, to have an emergency fund that should be used for emergencies only, not holidays, cars or clothes, but emergencies.
