Although I haven't lost my job, I am out of work for 4 to 6 months due to foot surgery. With it being my right foot, I can't even drive. Between the money and food that I've saved up it is NOT an emergency.
That is a benefit of being prepared.
At 20 - 30 I needed no medical insurance. Now every little bit helps.
Ask yourself if a 4 to 6 month disability would be an emergency or an inconvenience.

I don't want to be in your disaster, if that's OK. I'll find my own disaster where there are still cows. Maybe even Angus or Herefords cows. And a pig or two. 
Maybe even a McDonalds.

Actually, I recently finished a book that starts out with a zombie cow eating someone’s ear?
