I am not arguing against having a rainy day account. You should absolutely have one. I am arguing against tapping into it to take a few months off till Idaho's non-compete period expires. Over the last few years I made ~9% on my Vanguard investments. Vanguard's Retirement 2045 fund made 11% in the last 5 years and 5% in the last 10. That's all still much better than having it wast away in a money market account. You still can get the money out within days.

Oh, most non-compete agreements I've seen are for at least a year. A rainy day fund isn't for waiting that out. A rainy day fund is so you aren't desperate enough to have to take a job that requires you to sign a non-compete like that in the first place.
