In my country, saving money in a bank account is not the best way, because since the beginning of 2023 banks will no longer give interest on savings, in fact we will always be charged/deducted monthly admin fees, ATM fees, mbanking fees. transfer fees etc. So it is best to save in fixed rate government bonds or also in property. Bonds, stocks and crypto are liquid assets so we can use them as emergency funds.
