Funny, it doesn't say use your savings. That ought to be your first option. Everyone should live extemely frugally until they have 6 months living expenses saved up. No, eveyone else has to pony up so I can live extravagantly.

Yup. I didn't see your post, was just replying to his. That's what I did this summer. And I've been at work now for almost 4 months and my plan was to have 6 months worth of savings, I now have 5 months worth. If you alwyas live below your means (Not neccesily way below, but below...) stuff like this isn't so bad...
