    You got me thinking...haha...
    I would probably say anywhere between 4-6 months...I believe everyone should try to have at least 6 months worth just in case, they say that's how long it takes a person to obtain a good job after losing one. Will have to pray that never happens and if it does, that someone will come and rescue me and take me away from it all...haha

    I don't live in the USA. So you probably don't know the shops I like visiting

    Honestly, next Wednesday. But I think that if I lost my job, I would probably want to go out on Saturday, so actually, starting Sunday, things would get rough!
