I have my 6 months of living expenses built, but its sitting in cash with very little return. Where/how do you keep it?

Roth, of course. Tax-free returns and you can get the contributions whenver you want penalty-free.

ETA: Once you get a house and get some equity into it, you can get a HELOC and just not use it. If you need a thousand on short notice you can tap that if you prefer.

All of mine is in savings. Seeing the news that interest rates will likely be low until at least 2015 is really increasing the urgency that I get a firm grasp on investing.

6 months savings in an online savings account. And emergency cash on hand.
