The speaker highlights the risk of having no readily available emergency fund, as it necessitates taking on more debt or liquidating assets in case of income disruption or unforeseen expenses. The current essential monthly expenses are estimated at ₹27,000.
"If I look at your monthly essential expenses, which you will have to spend every month. 27 to ₹00, so if God forbid your income stops or some emergency arises, something goes wrong, you have to get something done somewhere and this ₹00 in your bank is not useful at that time and you have to spend more than that, then you will have to take another loan again or sell the shares that you have lying with you."
