Default Re: Is $1000 enough for an emergency fund?

Don't forget money to cover insurance deductibles, whether it's for the home, car, or your health. My motivation to save an emergency fund came last year after an unexpected injury on vacation, paying for all the health care that insurance didn't cover. It's a double whammy without that emergency fund - the problem itself and then finding a way to pay for it.
