We always had a rainy day fund since we started maybe it comes from me being in commission sales and my boss used to say for a salesman its best to live like its low tide. If it was fornt that fund we would went out of business when ibill fell apart. For 3 months we had zero money coming in and were buying a house and moving an office. That fund was a lifesaver.
