Your supposed to have 3 months worth of salary saved. I have $252.60.

If you are an independent contractor, it's advisable to have one year's salary set aside.
I read this the other day on this topic and enjoyed it.
It is more complicated than one might expect.
as much as you can, but just remember you cant take it with you
I remember reading somewhere you need to have at least enough money to cover you living expenses for two months in case you loose your job.
As much as you can afford to save.

Perhaps you should find out your bank insurance pay out incase the bank goes bankrupt or meet an disater. Mine pays only 20K bucks max in these situation regardless of the amount you placed with them.
I would suggest not more than 20K, and spread the rest into other forms of investment like shares or bonds which you can easily liquidate when you need the cold hard cash.
I have always heard 6 months worth of your bring home salary in savings. I know that you are getting a lot of advise, so maybe you could go to your bank and ask to meet with a financial adviser to discuss your situation. Most of the time, they won't charge you to meet with them, if there offered with you bank.
Three to six months worth of living expenses.
I agree with 3 to 6 months of your bring home pay
i like to try to keep 200 in savings, if not more. you never know when something will come up and it cost money$$$.
Yes, I'd say 3-6 months of living expenses. The rest should go toward a mortgage, 401k, mutual fund, etc.
Also, try to get a nice high interest money market account when you're saving your money ;)
