Hello New Friends - I have been experiencing an almost non-stop 'come to jesus' moment since discovering MMM... yesterday. I have an awful amount of debt, but I am attacking it and will kill it asap. My question for anyone who cares to answer:
Since I have zero savings - What's an effective cushion? I'm finally able to live in un hand to mouth fashion and want to destroy my debt. Have others who've already climbed out of holes found a good cushion 1 month/2 month, etc? I feel I have a formula that works for me - just looking for some outside perspectives on this. thanks!

Welcome to the forums!
This is a pretty individualized question, it depends on your assets, your job stability, your access to credit.
I'd suggest going all in and posting a case study. You'll be overwhelmed with advice and insights :)
