Posts on Emergency Fund Size | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing a post on emergency funds but instead of writing about all the different theories about what size they should be I'd rather just link to your wonderful posts!  If you've written a post about how to determine the size of an emergency fund – and more importantly, why it should be that size – I'd love to review and possibly link to it in my post.  Is the emergency fund motivated by risk of unemployment, repairs, deductibles, unexpected expenses…?

Thanks!

Hope this post is of use to you.

As usual, I had a slightly different take on the topic. I wrote a post taking aim at the amount Dave Ramsey recommends for the first "baby step" of a $1000 emergency fund: Is $1000 a Large Enough Emergency Fund? 

Here's a slight different take on things: Roth IRA as an Emergency Fund – Is it a Good Idea?

I wrote about emergency funds that are 8-12 months expenses here.

Thanks!
