“Keep enough set aside that a bad month is an inconvenience and not an emergency.”
Nobody tells you that money stops being about money somewhere around the point you have enough. After that it is entirely about sleep. I have been broke and I have been comfortable, and the difference in my happiness was almost nothing. The difference in my sleep was everything. So I stopped optimising for return and started optimising for the ability to stop thinking about it.
Keep enough set aside that a bad month is an inconvenience and not an emergency. That is what wealth actually buys.
