If you get fired today, how many months of runway you have?

To make it simple, easy to liquid net worth (cash in bank, mf, stock, own house) - loans/debt divided by current monthly expense.

Eg. my monthly expense is 1L and I have 7.5L in savings+stocks, so I have 7.5 months of runway.

<3 months
3-6 months
6-12 months
12-24 months
24-60 months
60+ months

Pehle mujhe laga mazaak hai. Fir yaad aaya grown ups toh loan bhi lete hain 🫠

Mutual fund, stocks, house are not considered as runway. It should be plain cash lying in your bank and FDs.

Agree. If anything you should plan to continue your SIPs during this time.

If you plan to continue your SIP post layoff, then your runway should be (Monthly Expense + SIP amount).

It's collateral, you can still move to a rented place and let bank take care of the home

About 2 yrs give or take. I live frugally at the moment, so if I really tried I could probably stretch it to 4

Mutual funds shouldn’t be considered in runway as the value can fluctuate quite a bit in case the market goes for a toss, for equity mutual funds at least.

I would rather suggest keeping the emergency fund (runway) in safer instruments

It’s depressing to see that peoples can live without a job for 3 years, 5 years, lifetime whereas I can’t survive more than 6 months. Something is very wrong with my career choices. 🥲

6 months is good enough... Unless you want to go for a vacation/sabbatical
