Businesses sometimes are unpredictable and have unforeseen risks, which may affect or lower the anticipated profits and if need be we might as well have to induce further capital and here your savings may help for the shorter duration, since you have not quantified how much savings you have accumulated till now.

While it is a good thing that you have a lot of savings it is important to continue with it. However, it is better to have an objective so as to create a discipline around your savings.
