How many months of cover to aim for

3 months suits a stable dual-income household; 6 months is the common general recommendation; 9–12 months suits freelance or single-income situations, or unstable industries. "Essential expenses" means rent, food, utilities, insurance, and minimum debt payments — not discretionary spending.
