What is the difference between Funds and Savings?

Funds are money you have saved for specific purposes. So you might have funds for things like vacations, birthday spending or downpayment on a car.  

Savings on the other hand is general purpose money that acts like a “cash cushion”.  It’s money that has no specific purpose other than to be a buffer.  It’s similar to an emergency fund.  For those that actually have a fund that is meant for the purposes of being an emergency fund, you can think of your savings as your investable wealth, ie: money that has no other purpose other than to be a growing asset.
