Our mandatory expenses which include our mortgage, 2nd, car loan, personal loan, utilities, gas, food, car insurance, cable/internet, cell phones and few small items are actually $4K a month. That's gives us 3 months EF instead of 2.
I only say that because it seems to be the "norm" this day. At the end of every month we spend closer to $6K to fund our various accounts like ROTH, IRA, MMA-EF, regular savings/checking account, 529, vacation and x-mas fund. Plus its comforting to know that we have $36K of EF at our own disposal anytime any-day. That's a good thing.
