Standard is to have at least six months of expenses.

For MBA specifically, I started converting stock investments to more conservative holdings over the year prior to matriculating.

My company is adopting Scrum and hiring a bunch of agile coaches to assist with sprints. We got assigned our agile coach that'll be starting soon.

I read a description of what this role is supposed to be for and it sounds like they'll be leading Scrum ceremonies. So they run the planning meeting, the retrospective and daily stand ups. Up to now, I've been doing those and it's taken a total of like 2 hours a week of my time.

What on earth do agile coaches do with the other 95% of their time?

Am I being TOO risk averse? 63k salary, 1 YOE out of undergrad, spend ~$2.6k monthly ($33k annually) My question is, I have about 9 months living expenses in cash. Is that sufficient? I have high anxiety and am aiming for 12 but also know that I can be a little ridiculous at times.

If I have enough in savings, I would then naturally redirect those cash flows amongst my tax-advantaged accounts, right?

Current breakdown:

Checking + savings = $24k
Roth IRA = $17k
401k + HSA = $8k
Taxable = $2k
