As I understood the current state is "saving money and getting a little return would be OK", since he is still employed? For sure, if the jo is lost in an expensive town, this money does not hold long.


Yea it's this. I have a job, I'm fine. I have 1 to 2 years of runway if I lose my job. I've been twice in a situation in my life where it took me 1 to 1.5 years to find a new job. During those times I lived for free at a family member's place so I was totally fine. But I know how dangerous things can get if I don't watch out. And even then still. Sometimes fate just hits you in the face.
