Most people will tell you three to six months. I'm going to give you the real answer — because the right number is different for everyone, and getting it wrong is too expensive a mistake.
In this episode, we're breaking down everything you need to know about your emergency fund. What it actually is, how much you should have based on YOUR situation, and exactly where it should be sitting right now.
I'm also sharing how my emergency fund carried me when I was laid off from my corporate job. No spiral. No panic. Just security I had built on purpose.
We cover:
— Why the standard "three to six months" advice isn't enough for most people
— How your industry, job stability, and dependents affect your target number
— Why you should NEVER invest your emergency fund
— The one place I always recommend keeping it (and why a little friction is actually a good thing)
— When it makes sense to keep more than six months and what to do with the extra
Your emergency fund is not just a savings goal. It is the thing that protects the life you are working so hard to build.
This episode will help you figure out exactly what that number looks like for you.
