I bet less than 25% of people actively do this. It's not that easy to do lol

True. But the meme is wrong. It's expenses not income.

The idea is you should be able to survive without working for 6 months.

This is to cover losing your job, injuries, illness, family emergencies.

Yeah, I get that, that's why I meant I doubt that more than 25% of people can survive without working for 6 months. I don't think more than 25% of people have more than 6 months of expenses saved up.

56% of Americans don't have enough to cover a $1000 unexpected bill. So I'd guess less than 5% have 6 months of expenses saved.
