Term of the Month: Liquidity

Liquidity is how fast or easily an asset can be turned into cash without losing too much of its value. For example, if you own stocks in a big company or have money in a bank, they have high liquidity, which means you can use or sell them easily at their full price. However, something with low liquidity, like a house, is more challenging to sell quickly because you could risk losing a lot of value if you try to sell it fast.

Happy saving,
