Yeah. voice-verified

And and when I see that amount of my savings, I'm like, okay, I'm good. voice-verified

I've got that defense line in place. voice-verified

And so it might even be a number, which is difficult too. voice-verified

So maybe you run the six months thing and you're like, nah, it needs to be fifty grand. voice-verified

Okay, then fifty grand's your number. voice-verified

But remember the purpose of the emergency fund is yes, somewhat, to protect you from whatever happens in life, and and that's the true use. voice-verified

But I also think voice-verified

Just as much, if not more, it's a psychological crutch. voice-verified

That when you have investments, let's say, that go up and down every day and you have days in the market like yesterday, which we're we're cutting this on the end of July and it was painful um in the markets yesterday, towards the end of the close, when you have those days, you can say, Okay. voice-verified

But I have my emergency fund. voice-verified

And the psychological benefit of that allows you to be a good investor and that you're not as worried. voice-verified

You're always worried, right? voice-verified

That's part of investing is being a little bit emotionally attached, but you're able to have that safety net and that allows you to stay in on the days that if, you know, if the market drops and the two by four hits, you've got to go to cash. voice-verified

That would suck. voice-verified
