I should have probably said that I also keep 6-9 months of living expenses in a traditional savings account for emergencies. It didn't even occur to mention it since it's a minuscule portion of my net worth (< 2%), compared to the amount that's invested in the market, but that's definitely a good observation and I should have specified that to begin with.

Geez seeing comments like this make me wonder if I'll ever be debt free enough to have nearly a year of living expense to fall back on. I've barely got enough in my savings account for 2 months of bills and loan payments.

If it makes you feel any better, I had to travel 6k miles from my home country to Silicon Valley in order to reach this level of financial stability, so I had to do some significant sacrifices (e.g. not being able to stay close to friends and aging parents, ...).
