Still not a great definition, because many working class people have emergency funds saved up. It’s normally advised for adults to have a 6-month emergency fund of savings to live on, and many of us responsible types do. My basic necessities could be met for a long time with no job but I would need to get one before the savings ran out of course.
If you don’t find a new job within 6 months, then what?
I have literally 3 years worth of minimum living savings, but that isn’t actually a lot of money and I only have it because I live well below my means because I’ve spent my whole life in poverty.
I’m not owner class even tho I can go 3 years without working. Because eventually I do need more income to survive. Owners don’t. They can use passive income and never ever have to work again. That’s the difference.
Your distinction is answered in the post you replied to.

6 months savings is still at risk tho.

Now you are just typing to see your own words.
