have 3 months worth of salary in my emergency savings fund (read all 7 entries…)

Update  — 1 year ago

26.5% of my target saved, and if you include the shares (which I could easily sell in an emergency), it jumps to to 37% of my target. Of course, my aim is to get to 100% in instantly available cash, since the share value will no doubt fluctuate too much to rely on it.

This is a great goal

I have over 3 months worth now, but I’m going to dig into it when I buy the house (and all the things I have to buy for the house like the fridge, weedeater, etc.). I should adopt this goal, too, once I dip below 3 months worth.

You’re doing great. From 10% to 26.5% in 3 months!

Thanks.

And that growth was despite the fact I took money out to clear the last of my debt too.

The weird thing is that I don’t have anything that could actually give rise to an emergency.

I know.

But I don’t own a car, or a home, or any of the critical appliances that go with a home.
