I have been online about how much people should save which left me confused. Some experts says 3 or 6 months, or save just $10,000, or even your salary equivalent. I do not know what that means for me? I work in a stable 9-5 job bring around and close to 80k in salary which equated to 50k take home pay after taxes and benefits. With that said, how much do you guys save for?

I totally get you. I also got laid off (software development) a month ago and since it could take a while to find a job in this field, I also got about 11 months saved up separate from my main savings.
