I personally don't know how you guys live on less than 10K in cushion.
Last month. . .I had to pay our tax bill ($2300 for 1 quarter) and a credit card bill of $3500, representing our household expense and I put a quarterly payment of my car ins. on there.
So our account went from $13000 to about $8500 in one week (it's back up around 12K today).
I guess it depends. . .for some of you living in cheap COL areas, like Racoon Butt, Alabama. . .you won't need much more than 5K on hand.
That's not Scanner's World
