I like to keep just 2 to 3 paychecks worth as a cushion. When I see it drifting up close to 5 digits, time to move some over to savings - that wasn't a huge deal before interest savings got to the 3 1/2 to 5 % range, but it is now.

Something I don't obsess about, but I do think about it.

Like, "Am I saving too much for retirement?" and the big reveal is that ole boy is mid-40s with $5m in his 401k and IRAs.

Not-so-subtle brag.

(Full disclosure - I did have well over $100k sitting in checking when we were getting ready to buy a house...)
