Savings refers to the portion of income that is not spent on consumption but is instead set aside for future use. This amount can be held in various forms, such as cash, savings accounts, investments, or other financial instruments. The primary purpose of savings is to provide individuals or households with financial security and the means to meet future expenses, such as emergencies, purchases, education, retirement, or investments. Savings can also earn interest or appreciate over time, depending on where the money is allocated. The act of saving is often considered an essential component of personal finance and budgeting, promoting long-term financial stability and the ability to achieve financial goals.
