Would you guys save up first or would you guys take advantage of the opportunity to buy more stocks?

I think that you have got the idea for your question instead I would like to add mine in it.

I believe that you should stop overthinking on saving and investment. There is a famous saying.

" Do not save what is left after spending; instead spend what is left after saving "

And in your case, I would like to say that emergency fund are our life lines. We don't know when and where we need them.

If you are getting attracted towards stock price, I want to say that Are they more important than your life? if Yes, than go and buy them right now. and If not, then you got your answer.

The portion saved for opportunities may be use to investment education too.

wish you all the best in your investment journey. :)
