Honestly, even 10k isn't a large enough safety net in case something goes really wrong

if you measure it before rent is due maybe

when I was poor I struggled to have non-0 savings. I have a graph of my savings from the last decade. I was really excited when I could sometimes get it to nearly $500 before it crashed to zero

I'm doing better now. I hope I never forget where I came from

It is median. So it tracks the 12.5%th poorest American. Only people with bank accounts apply.
