Although to be fair, it depends on your industry and likelihood of getting other work. If you do something that has a glut of contractors, then you'll want a bigger warchest - particularly if you're obnoxious, etc. If you've got a particular set of skills that are desirable, you know your market and you know your customer base, then I'd consider 6 months plenty.
Then again, warchests are meaningless if you don't know your burn rate.Leave a comment:

Any mention of warchests here starts an outbreak of willy waving as people boast how many months or even years they could hold out.

Go get some testosterone injections, floppy.
It's not really a game you want to play on here, so maybe stick to the pub with your mates who will be more impressedLeave a comment:
