World Savings Day, which falls on October 31st, raises public knowledge of the benefits of saving money. It's also a day to acknowledge the impact that savings have on the global economy. The day is also known as World Thrift Day.
According to financial experts, you should have three to six months' worth of spending in your savings account. You should have $9,000 in savings if your monthly expenses are $3000. If you have enough funds to pay 6 months of expenses, it's even better. If you lose your career or your income, you won't have to worry so much if you lose your income. There is a change in income. On the other hand, if you're like most Americans, you obviously don't have enough funds in savings. According to the latest estimates, 51% of Americans have less than three months' worth of emergency savings in their account. About 26% of those polled say there are no emergency funds at all.

Some people simply spend too much money and live above their means, while others live beyond their means. They may not worry a lot about their financial future.

The world savings day is the longest in history
Filippo Ravizza, an Italian professor, proclaimed the last day of the 1st International Savings Bank Congress as "International Saving Day" on the last day of the 1st International Savings Bank Congress. In 1924, the festival was held in Milan, Italy. The idea was to show people that it was better to place their money in a bank rather than under their mattress. This day became more popular after WWII. World Savings Day is today in 190 countries around the world.
