The general rule of thumb I have heard is 6 months living expenses. Although they urge at least 3 because most people don't even have that.

I always heard those numbers but I think they all got bumped up because of this wacked-out economy. I had about 12 months but it went down to 8 months when I added another pony to the stable back in August.

I get where you are coming from with the interest phobia. If I start to send in an extra $554.58 a month starting next month, I cut 14 years off of my mortgage. Mortgage paid off by 2021 sounds good to me. I didn't check to see how quickly that would drop my PMI either and once that goes down, that will open up over $100 extra to send in, invest, or do whatever with.
