[quote=Anonymous]When I was single from age 18-30, I always had to have 10k in my savings account. The money was never tangible to me, I never thought "oh I can just borrow some for this thing I want" or really considered it my cushion. I lost a few jobs and always picked up waitressing or temping because it felt like it wasn't there. Now that I'm married with a child, the number is 30k. I don't know where this 10k/person thing came from, but it's there. I've been investing my whole adult life as well and think of those investments as the "emergency fund" that I can liquidate if I absolutely must. [/quote]
