That would be me. I've been with the same company for 7 years now, but my goal is to stash away one year of take home salary, before I feel completely secure that we can face a long bout of unemployment. Partially that is a result of my mortgage payment, which stands at nearly $1800 a month, so I know it would take more than $20K alone in any given year.
