I think there is a whole lot of variability in this equation. I do try to keep some "cushion" in the bank, but I can borrow if I have to. So if I have drained the savings I can still get by via borrowing for a while if necessary.

I'm fortunate that my employment is very steady. The chances of me losing my job are slim. If it were less steady I'd be better about keeping that cash stashed.

If the unlikely did happen and I lost my job I would pretty quickly have access to a large stash of cash. Which I'd rather save but would spend if it saves my ass from starving and foreclosure.

I am 26 and I have like 14 salaries saved up already but they are barely 10k dollars because of my stupid third world country currency :') am I doing well or should I just give up and wait for my next reincarnation? :')

Just in case you are looking for a serious answer: it all depends on your living expenses and how much support you will receive in case something happens. Where I live, we have a good (but still improvable) state support system. Here, the general rule is to have 3 months of expenses on the side. It's meant to cover your costs until you find a new job or be a buffer for unforseen expenses. Only you can determine how much you think you need.

I am not sure, I mean, people can survive with 270 dollars a month in here...somehow.

I have health insurance for the state hospitals but they are kinda crap. :")
