Hey guys! I’ve been reading a lot about emergency funds lately, and I’m curious how much everyone thinks is a good amount to have saved up. Some say 3-6 months of expenses is ideal, while others suggest even more. What’s your take? How did you figure out the right amount to save, and do you have any tips for building that fund quickly? Let's share our experiences!

The 3-6 month rule is a solid starting point. I calculated my bare-bones monthly budget and aimed for 4 months. Automating transfers right after payday helped me build it without thinking
