Default Re: Using a mutual fund for an emergency fund

You could break up your money into tiered brackets of:

Current Living: 60%
Once Yearly Expenses: 5%
Emergency Fund: 10%
Retirement Accounts: 10%
Safer Investments: 10%
Aggressive Growth Fun Money: 5%

Or some variation thereof. Only you know how you'd draw down the money in the event of a layoff or disability.
