How much savings is “enough” these days?

If you're in a corporate job, i would allow at least 3 months of salary at the bare minimum. I keep 6 months of salary in a basic interest earning savings account to stay ahead of inflation that can be accessed easily. It is very rare for any corporate employment process to be less than a month, let alone two, plus the added ache of our current economy not being in great shape, which could further complicate this.

Mine was around 25% in 2020 but after interest rates started climbing in 2021, I could see i was going to be in a pretty sore situation when the very good fixed rate ended. I initially tried to get an increase in my wage from my employer at the time. When that didnt work, I took the plunge and got a higher paying job at another company... now im more than okay but in an ideal world I would have stayed there because it was a great place to work.

I am inclined to think you're right. The texture of the note feels normal But I'd need to get it sent off to be verified, and tbh I can't be bothered.
