Bump. Curious as well. How much are 6-12 months of living expenses anyways? It obviously isn't going to be standard for everyone (finance, tech, consulting vs other jobs) but should the 6-12 months account for your current rent and basic living expenses only (being frugal on groceries, transportation, etc...) or does it also factor in stuff like restaurants, nightlife, discretionary spending...
