<prompt> Human: What are your recommendations on rebuilding an emergency fund? I burned through a lot of cash in 8 months. Should I cash out investments into my emergency fund or just rebuild it over time from my income?Also, should I dip into whats left of my emergency fund to fund my Roth IRA for 2014? I kinda feel like this is an obvious yes but will leave whats left of my emergency fund uncomfortably low.  <response>: IANACFP, but Id prioritize your emergency fund over your Roth. Never know if your car will break down or whatnot.
