Leo and Ava Bryant together earn approximately 9200 a year after taxes. Through an inheritance and some wise investing they also have an investment portfolio with a value of almost $200,00. How much of their annual income do you recommend the Bryants hold in some form of liquid savings as reserves? Explain.
There is no concrete answer with regards to how much liquid
reserves should be kept to take care of any exigency. However there
is a general thumb rule which states that 6 months income should be
kept in liquid funds which can be liquidated or used in any kind of
emergency situation.
Now income post taxes: $9200
6 months income: $4600
So it is recommended that around $4600 should be kept in liquid
funds to take care of any unforeseen circumstances in addition to
$20,000 of their investment portfolio.
