I'm aiming for a year's worth of living expenses. (Since I was once unemployed for four years, I don't think a year is as extreme as it might sound at first.) I also earmark money every month for normal (but irregular expenses) like car repairs. I believe that ANY amount you can set aside regularly will help :) Well, I have one, although it’s not yet as large as I’d like it to be. I’m aiming for a year’s worth of living expenses.

It is currently very low, but comes in quite handy. I have it in in a money market fund with checking access. Ultimately, when the debt is paid off, I would like to see 6 months saving in there.

Ideally it would be 40 years, and I could quit working today!). My emergency fund gets $57/paycheck, so it's going to take me a long time to get where I want to be, but at least I'm working towards the goal.
