Default Re: Hypothetically: Debt or Emergency Fund?

60% student loan
30% emergency fund
10% now (upkeep on vehicles/house repairs - more insulation, full tank)

----
100%

Okay - I'll say the unsayable - IF, it was truly a Capital E - "E.M.E.R.G.E.N.C.Y. Emergency" and you had repaid on your loans and were up to date - you'd be in a fine position to use those dratted CC for the purchase of a tank of gas to get you out of Dodge, or a couple of pair of jeans for the family who bugs out w/o their 'stuff'.
