The average person has around $11,000.00 to $15,000.00 in savings.
That is for those that don't earn a lot of money on their jobs so they cannot put a whole lot of money into savings.
But having something in savings accounts is better than having no money in a savings account.
Even if you put $100.00 per month out of your paycheck into savings you could have $1,200.00 in a year saved.
So while it's not all that much even $1,200.00 in a year could get you by for at least a little while even if you had to cut out a lot of other expenses.
If you earn more money it's best to put around $500.00 to $1,000.00 per month into a savings account if you earn enough to do so.
Not everyone earns enough to put a lot into savings and some people don't earn enough money to have any savings.
