You know, rasing kids, living paycheck to paycheck. Those sorts of things. Now I'm socking money away so I'll have at least six months worth of living expenses readily available and I'm "paying myself" by investing over 24% of my gross. Thanks for your advice. Michael,

You're dead-on with regard to unexpected medical costs in particular. @Jeff: I can't believe I first heard about this here - that's amazing (I just watched the replay on-line). Smart risks are a lot less risky than risks as a whole. @Bert: Thanks for the kind words. You’re dead-on with regard to unexpected medical costs in particular.

It was spectacular. It's good see some guys willing to take risks. Was at the Phillies game last night when Jason Werth stole home. He stole 2nd, 3rd, and then Home. It was spectacular.

However, I did watch that game on TV and Jacoby's steal of home made the whole game exciting. I love that kind of baseball and you guys got a great player with Ellsbury. The advice of preparing for the unexpected was dead on. I know a lot of people who have gotten laid off lately. Also, accidents and medical costs are way out of hand. It's best to be prepared.
