It seems like a lot of money, but I guess safety net is everything, especially today. Thanks for referring to my blog post - As long as you credit this blog, I'd be more than happy to share my thoughts with you :) Thanks! Hi Matt,

BTW, I recently came across a very interesting concept regarding the size of your emergency fund (probably it was published on Get Rich Slowly): the percent rate of unemployment should be the number of months worth of usual spending (i.e. no expensive gifts or round-the-world cruises, etc) you have in your Emergency Fund. Makes sense, doesn't it? PS. Hope you don't mind that I've commented upon your list on our blog: http://blog.weeklyenvelope.com/avoiding-5-budgeting-mistakes-with-weekly-envelope/ Money Advisor:
