The amount depends on family size and certainly where one lives and what their monthly expenses are. On the other hand, I do believe something is better than nothing. I have had something and I have had nothing when an emergency came up. I like having something better. Just way less stress.

There really isn't a set number just save, save, and save. The more the merrier.

I took a investment class and I was told save 6 months of emergency money. Take a jar and every day put your change in the jar.

I believe they say 3-6 months of expense for emergency fund. However, I was laid off before for 1 year so my goal is to get 1 year of emergency fund saved. I would rather have extra.

I do not think that $2500 would be a good emergency fund for me. Personally I want my emergency fund to be equal to a year of take home pay.

6 months is a great goal! i wish i could get there! however i feel like when i start to save something goes wrong! 2020 has been a crazy year for finances. im hoping this program helps to keep my savings in line.

Hopefully we can get another round of stimulus and I’ll save it for emergencies since I’m doing alright now.

I don't use/like the phrase Emergency Savings. It's a psychological thing but I prefer 'contingent'. 'Emergency' evokes stress. Financial management is suppose to be enjoyable. In any case, I set aside money for situations that could disrupt my cashflow. The amount to save is specific to the savers needs and comfort level. I save up 3 months of expenses ever year. On January 1, I use it to fund my Roth IRA and then start over again.

Shaina Roth IRA that's what I like to hear. How is that going for you? What company are you with? Are you paid in dividends?

It's great! I use 2 custodians for my Roth - Vanguard for stock investments and AdantaIRA for real estate investments. My stock investments do pay dividends. They are on a DRIP though so I don't notice them till I pull the statement.
