An emergency fund exists for one job: covering essential expenses if income stops unexpectedly. The right size depends on your monthly essentials and desired coverage.
Fewer months suits stable, dual-income households; more months suits single-income or variable-income situations.
Most planners advise against it — the goal is guaranteed access without risk of loss exactly when you might need it.
