Whether it's you telling your boss to go to hell or the other way around, having a cushion of savings is very important - even if you never have to use it.

The idea being that you can take those pointless quarterly reviews, or whatever stupid thing the corporation requires for no good reason and slowly, calmly rip them to pieces in front of your boss. Either fire me or excempt me from this nonsense. How sweet that would be. Indeed, you must have the funds to back yourself up in case your boss choses the latter.

I was reading The Millionaire Next Door and it seems that the more successful millionaire parents *did* pay for their children's educations rather than simply hand them cash. A sort of teaching-them-to-fish, if you will. The other thing the successful ones did was earmark seed money for their adult children to start businesses. Now if you're not rich like that and you have to choose between your retirement fund and a college fund for the kids then by all means favor your retirement fund. It's short-sighted to put your own future in jeopardy when there are financial aid programs out the wazoo for college kids but practically none for retirement.

I now work for myself but that fund really came in handy when I worked for someone else and quit. It also works great in relationships that go sour, especially if your living together and you'd need to move out ASAP. I call mine the “freedom fund”.
