[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also concerned about this. We have an emergency fund, but it's not that big given student loans, daycare costs, and paying out of pocket for IVF (this type of infertility treatment is not covered under any FEHB plan). I am pregnant in my third trimester so am not physically able to wait tables, and am barred by ethics rules from taking a desk job in my field. Anyone in my stage of life is going to be challenged by missed paychecks.[/quote] This is us too, except instead of IVF we purchased a house last year that needed much more work than we’d anticipated, so we dipped further than planned into our emergency fund and took on more debt than expected. We’ve been more focused on paying off debt than building the ER fund beyond a month’s expenses. I have a privileged life, but it’s expensive. [/quote]
