I wish you good luck, Daisy. If you were able to hit your $10,000 goal before, I’m sure you’ll be able to do it again.

Emergency fund is a necessity and the rule of thumb is at least 6 months income. If you have a family and a large mortgage payment it’s a great idea to have even 9-12 month income in your emergency fund. If you have more savings than that than you might want to invest it in some conservative government bonds or blue chip stocks to earn some income.

We’re also rebuilding our emergency fund (back up to $10,000) right now. My husband just had one dental surgery for $5500 and another on the way for $6500, so the $10,000 we had will be wiped. Grrr. But we’re aiming to refill it by the end of this year or early 2014. Fingers crossed. Good luck with yours too!
