How Much is in my Emergency Fund?

May 6th, 2008

Just how much is in A’s Emergency Fund (as asked by Krystal)?

$7,200.

Despite having a stable job (and side jobs), I need to have six months set aside ‘just in case’. The longest I should ever be between jobs would be 3 months (the length of summer vacation) but the extra cushion lets me sleep better at night.

The funds are allocated in the following hierarchy:

Green boxes are ‘filled’ funds, yellow boxes need more money.

As of today (05.06), I’m 86.11% towards having a complete Emergency Fund. On Saturday, the percentage will drop to 75% when a set of new tires will wipe out the ‘car emergency’ money.
