Saving money can be difficult to do but like any other skill saving gets easier with practice.
It’s always a good idea to save so that you have cash on hand for emergencies, sudden loss of income, major purchases or irregular spending. Savings will also be required to buy a property (20% deposit).
A good indicative range of the level of savings you should aim for are enough to support yourself and your dependents for between three to six months i.e. three to six months net annual income.
