1. For unexpected "emergencies" (job loss, emergency flight, broken home appliance)
2. Should be totally liquid (cash on hand in bank or safely stored at home) and not invested
I've got 6 months of expenses kept in a separate bank account which I never touch. Also keep a different "Sinking Fund" account for upcoming expenses that I know about (car shaken, rent renewal, insurance premiums, Christmas or BD presents, etc.)
All this talk about EF here and I have thoughts of those movies where people are living off the grid. The doomsday underground shelters, power generators, stored can food, water, whiskey, Haha
