It struck a chord with me as a fellow developer who, as you put it, also has an "inability to focus on doing things that I seemingly want to do". I try to convince myself that my problem is that I don't surround myself with enough innovative people. But I think my own fear of failing is to blame. Oh well - one day at a time, right? Congrats on the iconfactory gig - that's pretty exciting. Also, if you'd like a promo code for Tiny Violin, ping me at my email and I'll send you one. Perhaps it will help you console future lamenters. :) Ironically, this blog post showed up in my inbox as a Google Alert I have set up for my iPhone application, Tiny Violin.

Not getting paid is clearly grounds for finding someone who will pay - not just living as long as possible off the emergency fund and keeping working. And no, an emergency fund is most certainly not for car stereos. :) It’s for things like sudden job loss, yeah, but not for when you are still working but not getting paid when you should be.

That was sort of the point of the "6 to 8 months of expenses". I thought that the emergency fund was for something like that, losing your job or your boss not paying ya.
