A buffer is for life good or life bad.
Yeah, typically it's three months take home pay um for people who have a really steady income household and six months take home pay for maybe people like me and you, Claire, who ha who are freelancers and and we have money coming in one month and then we've no money coming in for a few months and then it goes again.
So yeah, it depends on how stable your income is into the household, but somewhere between three months and six months.
But actually the research that was done showed having five hundred euros in a buffer is enough.

Yeah.

Michael, this is the shortest answer ever.
No, don't wait, right?
And I'll tell you why.
Like auto enrollment came out this year, and that's the My Future Fund.
And I think the first time I heard about auto enrolment was around two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight.
And then the UK introduced it, I think, in twenty twelve.
Now Australia introduced it back in the eighties, they were the first.
But I'm I I've I've actually got a lot of confidence this thing is going to be introduced come later on in the year.
Um sorry.
It'll be announced in the budget and if everything goes to plan, it'll be introduced on the first of January.
But remember, there's going to be limits to what you put in.
The best guess we have right now is the maximum you're going to be able to put in is 20,000 euros.
And people worry about, oh, but if I put an investment in here and I want to avail of putting 20,000 euros into this, you can move from one fund to the other.
