Pet emergency it depends for me. My dog recently had an allergic reaction to a wasp sting and had to go to the emergency vet, which ended with a fee of over $1000 (plus a couple hundred more when I had take him to his regular vet for a follow up). Luckily I had the money but I can totally understand someone having a rainy day fund for their pet but still being blindsided.

On the other hand, a pet emergency like you need to get your pet spayed or neutered, or regular shots? Those aren't emergencies, that's the cost of pet ownership.

But being blindsided by an expense is exactly why a person needs to have an emergency fund?? Distinguishing the two concepts like that doesn't make sense. Having a proper emergency fund means doing the research to know what amount is appropriate for the kinds of expenses it might be used for, not just throwing a couple hundred dollars in a coffee can... Which is why I say if a person can't swing that without hitting up GoFundMe or whatever, then maybe they shouldn't have a pet.

My cat suffered an injury that all up cost over $6000. My emergency fund was just over $3000. I think that's a pretty reasonable emergency fund!

Apparently it wasn't, though.

DA How much do YOU think is an acceptable emergency fund for anyone to have on hand for any foreseeable cost then?

AYRT. I already answered that question: Having a proper emergency fund means doing the research to know what amount is appropriate for the kinds of expenses it might be used for.

I don't even have a pet, yet I know that an emergency can easily rack up way more than $3K.
