Conventional thought is 3-6 month’s worth. I’ve got 3 months covered but after that I am fonked.
60

3 months easy access savings, excess goes to taxable brokerage account

Too damn much, double bathroom Reno in the next couple of months. At least it’s in a HYSA

Several hundred thousands. Every raise I got in my life I put it in a Roth. Retired at what I was making 35 years ago. Of course, spouse made enough to cover what we needed to live a comfortable life.

If you can contribute to a traditional Roth, you’re poor

What are we talking? High yield savings, individual investment accounts, 401k, checking or other (like an acorns)?

It's better than most. Recognize that your spending is probably going to get cut pretty significantly if you find yourself unemployed. You'll also apply for unemployment during that time. Pay attention to your employer beyond your job. You'll probably feel it coming weeks before it happens.

Define savings. Money in savings account or brokerage accounts as well? Either way, you will not get real answers on the OT.

I was keeping a couple years worth when I lived in BR because I had one of those sweet 2.7% interest rates but with lifestyle creep and new interest rates I’ve got about 6 months. I’ve also been investing more this year instead of letting it build in my HYSA.

Lot of honesty will be shown here.

6 months of normal monthly spending.

I’m retired, so 15% of liquid assets is in cash, savings account and CD’s. CD interest helps with passive income and pay quarterly estimated taxes. It also allows me to not touch market investments until required at RMD age. All dividends are reinvested to hedge inflation. It certainly helps that I had a defined benefit pension plan annuity and maxed out Social Security.

50k in savings account, 10k each in two float accounts, although they are not there now. 10k in cash. Rest goes to investment account.
