    It is commonly recommended that you should have up to 6 months income saved as a back up emergency fund.

    However, if you feel your job is relatively secure I would probably be happy with a couple of months if I was in your case. Use the rest to pay off the highest, penalty free, interest loan.

    LOL

    I nearly choked on my supper when I read that!!!

    I have never heard of that 6 months figure before, so I don't know where it is commonly known at....
