I plan to keep 3-5 percent of my monthly budget aside for emergency funding. Emergency situations don't come every now and then, but when they come, there can be a huge financial constraint. Saving something consistently is the best way, it becomes a disciplined habit. It doesn't dent your monthly budget or your finance when the emergency comes. It's also convenient and safe to do so.
