I have another thread that is trying to help me determine a proper reserve fund.
I think $5k to $10k is too low, since an engine rebuild black swan is $15k+. Game over if you only set aside $10k.
Even a top end is $7k. Plus, who knows what else. It seems $25k is a safer reserve fund, until I figure out otherwise. With a new brand, it is impossible to tell how much one can DIY until each problem is reseached as it arises. So, for now, I try to assume no DIY, until I am proven otherwise.
