I would keep around 6 months of expenses in cash as an emergency fund in a HYSA.

If you’re 24 you generally can afford to take more investment risk. No reason having 50% of your money in cash.

I think the far greater risk is having 50% of your wealth in cash. This about the opportunity cost

You should have an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses but 50% cash is foolish - you lose 3% a year holding cash when you could be making investment returns and actually generating cash.
Everyone has a different situation maybe the friends have more cash because they are planning to a buy a house or pay for a wedding. Those are very valid reasons for cash. Maybe the friends have fewer assets and 6 months expenses in an emergency fund is 50 percent of their assets. 50 percent could be right for some but wrong for others. You need to understand the facts
Nah dude. Keep investing and stay invested. Do build up a stockpile of cash on the side, not as emergency fund, but as dry powder for when the market goes on sale. 50% cash is a trash allocation unless you’re saving to go all in this on a big move.
How many months of rent though? For many 5k is more than enough. In hocl areas maybe not enough. Just need to understand the numbers
Maybe boost your savings to cover 6 months expenses but other than that you’re perfect. Remember time in market beats timing the market for 99% of us who aren’t true investing geniuses.
