Id probably keep 3-6 months living expense if you don’t have parents to crash with in the event there’s a recession and you both lose your job and the market tanks. If you’re married I’d definitely have at least 6 months. Plus, with current interest rates, if you throw 6 months of living expenses in a high-yield savings account, you can earn enough off interest to get a plane ticket or two each year.

 

I keep like 5-7k in my checking just so I don’t have to think about paying rent and other stuff monthly with how much is actually in my account.
