I just don't live like that. We don't live incredibly under our means, but we live a good bit under our means. That being said, I am not naïve, and I know all the money I have worked hard to save could be gone in a heartbeat; major medical issue, lose your job, major house issue, family emergency. Any slew of reasons could cause money to lost quickly, but I have followed a 6months of expenses saved, and have around 4k in petty cash in a safe. I would hate to have something minimal happen that leads to something bad because I didn't stock some money away. So while I understand you cant take it with you, I also don't want short sidedness causing us to lose a house or a car, or fill in the blank.
