Clicky Poll: Savings Accounts
Okay, so we've been talking about savings accounts and money management. I'm curious what sort of emergency fund we all have. Not retirement funds, CD's, or anything like that but honest to goodness cash in the bank that you could withdraw without penalty.
And this would be for covering mortgage/rent/food/utilities/hair appointments/gas/etc...

Re: Clicky Poll: Savings Accounts
i might need an SS. i'm not sure. we have 2 main "savings" accounts. we have one traditional savings account, but it doesn't have very much money in it...maybe 3 months tops of living expenses. we also have our stock trading account...which we always say we'd pull out in the case that we both get fired at the same time and don't qualify for unemployment (worst case scenario, no income whatsoever). we have about 2 years of living expenses there.
which should i pick?
ETA: if we combine all of our "little" traditional savings accounts, we'd add up to another couple months in backup money.
and no real "penalty" for pulling out stock money, only transaction fees for selling the stock.

Can you pull the money out of your stock trading account without penalty? If so - include it.

Married Bio
would you consider trading fees penalty?
i'm talking with uw offline about it, and she thinks i shouldn't include it because technically the stock market can just crash crash crash and we'd be zero'd out. (she's so pessimistic
)

We had a couple months saved up at one point but have had a lot "emergancies" come up this year, and I swear stuff just keeps coming =(. We are hoping to start a new savings account in October after our entire CC is paid off (not much left!).
We also do have investments if it really came down to it as well.
