Agree 100% that you want to have an emergency fund, F*** Off fund, cash on hand, or whatever phrase motivates you to have access to money when you need it. I also use CIT, and so far it’s been great. We are on the older end of Gen X, so not just building up our initial accounts, and another thing we use is a line against our real estate. Now we can do this b/c we have equity built up and we know we’re good with debt (we have used our line to purchase more real estate or other investments, not consumption). It isn’t a strategy for everyone, but it is another emergency fund.
