Emergency Fund

I've talked to Zack(the boyfriend, SO, lol whatever other names I call him) about saving for our emergency fund. We've both decided that 6,000$ is a good amount. We both agree on saving our tax refunds. He's getting 2,800$ and I'm getting...82$. LOL. Thats what happens when you have a premature baby. I had stopped working in May, so I got everything I paid in taxes back. Woo! 6,000$ is about 3 and a half months living expences.
