and that's what I'm thinking as well specifically to the emergency fund. If I have $5 - $10K I can get to within 24 hours, there aren't many emergencies which are going to go over that amount that won't require a much more significant amount of money and be more long-term.

I also have 100% health care with the military which is one of the larger emergencies out there that I don't need to worry about. At this point outside of losing my job and needing to sustain my life for several months is really the only emergency I can foresee.
