No money is enough for that. It also depends on your income and expenses.
I would suggest you save at least 30% of your income on a regular basis to suffice for any emergency costs.

Some standard says you need at least next 3 months salary in emergency savings. :loveit:

This savings in advance will help in case of unexpected job loss or other emergencies like health issues etc Cetera.
