How Much Do You Need In Savings?

We recommend having enough in savings to cover at least 6 months worth of your expenses. This should provide you with a cushion in case of job loss or a unexpected expense. With that being said, for those of you who have a considerable amount of high interest rate debt, this may not be the best option for you.
