We are trying to get it up to 1,000 so it can pay for any of those little emergencies that seem to come out of nowhere. Which is why we have less than 1,000 right now, those darn unexpected emergencies!!! As of today we have 519.00 in our short term savings also known as our emergency fund.

I would *like* to keep 10k in an e fund (currently around 7k). Then I would assume I'd have other savings for things like vacations and a new car, which would be revolving and not "kept" in short term savings, but saved up for a goal, then emptied. And I keep less than 300 in checking. :) Perhaps this survey could be redone with a more specific question.

That leaves about $10K in our emergency fund, and other short term saving funds (honeymoon, kitchen remodel, local income tax).
