I agree with Steve. Don't buy a house yet. Live there for a year before you decide to buy. The job situation might change or you may decided that it's not to your liking. Traveling back and forth to see family and friends tend to be an additional expense most don't think about. The emergency fund situation depends upon your particular jpb amd tje benefits that it has. The more insecure that you feel about your financial situation determines the size of your emergency fund. Each person's situation is different. Like others have already stated; it is your necessary expenses not your total gross income.
