6 months expenses in cash would be a pretty good basic position at 30.


Completely unnecessary in a country that actually provides services for its people. In Canada, where there are essentially no such thing as catastrophic health costs and employment is far more stable, six months' bank just makes no sense. I mean, why not 12? 18? 24?[/quote]

Are you kidding? I live in Canada and no one will pay my rent, gas or food if I lose my job or have my hours reduced.

You're not supposed to save 6 months expenses to protect yourself from catastrophic healthcare costs. You should have 6 months in case you lose your job or can't work or something. That way you have a reasonable amount of time to get things back on track and you and your family won't be out on the street.

I'm in Canada, not sure what services you are counting on the govt providing, unless you mean welfare. Also, I don't know what bubble you live in but employment for most people here is just as unstable as anywhere else.

Better start saving, buddy.

There was nothing wrong with turning 30. The 30s are a lot better than people in their teens and early 20s might suspect. Turning 50, now that was horrifying. I was in a stunned stupor all day long.

"...in case you lose your job or can't work or something" ...OK, maybe if you are a loser with no job security you need to have six months' salary in the bank. My job is not going anywhere.

"...not sure what services you are counting on the govt providing" ...here's one: medical treatment. I'm not making this up, my grandfathers on my mom's/dad's sides had almost identical strokes in their 80s. Mom's side lives in Canada: free medical care,

I'm not making this up, my grandfathers on my mom's/dad's sides had almost identical strokes in their 80s. Mom's dad lives in Canada: free medical care, great home nursing for low cost, etc. Dad's dad lives in the states: Massive medical bills, ridiculous costs for services that wouldn't even be accredited in Canada. He had plenty in the bank, thankfully. Meanwhile, my kids are in a great daycare for a tenth of the chain brat-factories in the US cost. (I've lived in both, with kids, and agree completely with the six months in a decrepit state like this US. Just not in a functioning one like Canada.)

Your hoarding mentally is holding back the recovery. Stop living in fear.

It's just a number really. You are as young as you think & act. I think 30s are some of the best years of your life.

Unless 30 happens to be the age you reach your peak (most distance runners can continue at high level to 32-35), 30 is irrelevant - nothing is really bad. 40 is another story, and (I'm 55) 50 is where all the old assumptions about yourself really go out the window!

For me, the only bad thing about being 30 was I started having to get up and take a piss in the middle of the night every now and then. Other than that, no complaints. At this point, I'm kind of looking forward to turning 40 (in 2 yrs) so I can have a better shot at winning age group awards.


If getting up in the night started at 30, you need to see a urologist.

Also, if you think it gets easier to win age groups at 40, you are sadly mistaken.

Your skin doesn't look as shiny and you're less attractive. You have more bags under the eyes and wrinkles.

I found it very funny. I also found it very true.

What's less funny and more sick is threatening to carry out disabling violence over a joke. Get help.
