I would say 6 months of savings + a couple extra bucks in semi liquid accounts (stocks, bonds, money market accts, ect...) More is always better.

Basically, I live below my means and save all that is left over being always no less than 20% of earnings.

Seems to cover all that we need and we're never 'broke".
