I think, if your savings can't cover your basic needs for a month, you're in it. If you miss one paycheck, your life basically falls apart. It also means, if you have a sudden cost (car repair, water pipe burst, or illness in the USA) that is more than a monthly paycheck (which in turn is more than your savings), you're done.
