Your advice is good. It's indeed better not to save cash, especially in these uncertain economic times, as cash will lose value due to inflation. Therefore, it's best to only hold enough cash. Savings or emergency funds can be transferred to gold, as gold is easily exchanged for urgent needs.
Unnecessary spending should be reduced as this is a bad habit for your finances in the long run. You should get used to using money wisely to achieve your goal of financial freedom. Therefore, you must have a long-term plan for managing your finances, investing in Bitcoin and using gold as savings or an emergency fund.
Gold is considered a fairly stable asset, but using it as an emergency fund is not as good or safe an idea as you might think.
In just the past five day, gold has fallen from $5,500 to $4,400, a decline of roughly 20%. As you can see, even assets considered safe havens can experience significant short term volatility. If you were in this situation, what would you do if you needed money but your emergency fund was reduced by more than 20% due to gold price fluctuations?
Fiat depreciates over time, but it will not fluctuate and lose 10-30% in the short term like investment assets. Therefore, fiat remains the best choice for emergency fund. Bitcoin and gold are only suitable for speculative and longterm investment
