The amount of money you should have in savings depends on your specific situation and on a variety of factors, such as your age. For example, a worker in their 20s who’s not married or has no children has very different financial needs than a worker in their 30s or 40s with a family and a house. Most financial experts agree that individuals should have at least 6 to 12 months of savings in their account to serve as a safety net in the event of an emergency.
