So with the short terms, you actually have numbers to work off of or to get estimates.
Because remember, these are expenses that are coming up throughout the year.
The typical things you spend money on outside of auto pay.
Okay.
And what about the emergency fund?
If you have a spouse that can take care of the expenses, if you're living with your parents and you have someone that can cover your living expenses so you're not homeless, then
We could be talking three months on that end.
If you are by yourself and your job is relatively steady, I would say three months may be on a light end.
Six months is more probable.
If you have a job where the market is very unsteady, we're talking six.
If you are the breadwinner of your family and you lose your job and there's no additional income, we're talking more six months to one year.
If you are self-employed, your income is going up and down like a roller coaster.
We're now in that six months to one year.
That gap is what I call SWAN.
And that is the number that helps you sleep well at night.
So the first part of the bucket's based on your situation.
The second part to me, that's when your personality comes in.
I will talk to some people and they tell me, I'm just not comfortable unless I have a year of savings.
I'm like, then have a year of savings.
I am not going to argue what someone needs to comfortably sleep well at night.
