Our situation.Recently got an interesting conversation with my friend.
He makes like 75% of HHI but his wife has a very stable gov job. They might need like extra $10k per year in addition to her salary for lean lifestyle, so their EF is $10k cash + some IBonds.
Let's assume we want 12 months EF for a household with a single earner.
Question - how many months are good for
couple working in the same company?
couple working in the same industry?
couple working in the different industries?
couple working in a private company + govt?
Any links to papers / research?
Both self and spouse work part time/semi-retired with an active pension.
46 months spending in cash to ride out any market downturn and sleep well at night.
No formula utilized...
