Yeah. I need the ability to instantly access an amount of cash I think can get me out of any situation easy and then some and I don't feel comfortable using a credit card for shyt hits the fan type situations. 10K covers that for me. I have a high yield savings account, but that money is specifically for if I'm in an unemployed and have exhausted that 10K + severance + unemployment pay situation.The question is checking account...not savings. You all keep that much in a checking account?
I have an emergency fund in a high yield savings.
