What’s your bare minimum cash reserve?

I think 20k is probably enough that buys a new used car or most home repairs that aren’t huge.

Exactly what it sounds like have fun with buying a brand new car that’s designed to break as soon as it gets out of warranty, cost 5k to fix minor repairs because if all the electronics, records you while you drive, and has a government killswitch

I have about 10 months -1 year of monthly expenses in cash. Most financial people recommend 6 months.

Did you accidentally forget a 0?
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

What do you mean by cash reserves? What hangs out in the checking account? savings? Liquidity?

You don't need one.

Credit card companies love to hand out credit cards because of all of the degenerates who spend money they don't have.

If you're not a degenerate, if you ever run out of money, just use credit cards and then don't pay it back. If you're ever that strapped for cash to where you run down to 0, there really isn't any significant consequence that matters for not paying.
Balding is death. If you have no hair, you have no life.
