Comment on Emergency Funds – How Much is Enough? by Jason Albright

My personal goal is two have 12 months of income in my emergency fund, rather than the typical 3-6. The reason for this is that, well, you can never have too much money in savings, right? Especially if you put it in a high-yield savings account.

For those who have never had an emergency fund, SOMETHING is always better than nothing. You may start with a goal of just keeping $500 in the bank. Progress is progress… It all depends on where you’re starting point is.

I’d guess that most of us who own S corporations pay our taxes. It’s the mega corporations who find and exploit every possible loophole in the tax system that bug me. It’s one of the reasons I favor a system like the “Fair Tax.”

The majority of corporations do not pay income taxes because they have elected S staus. In those cases the company’s income is taxed on the shareholder’s individual tax return. Pubically held corporations do not make their tax returns public so it is not possible to say what taxes they paid or did not pay. There is also the issue of foreign income taxes which further complicate the matter.
