the reason is an investment itself: time. if you lose your job, you don't want to be in a position where you have to consider a lower-paying job to ensure other assets won't need to be tampered with to make ends meet

That is true. The rule of thumb is expect a month of job searching for every $10k you want.

Speaking of tampering with investments to make ends meet, this is where Roth IRAs shine: you can pull out the money you put into it without any penalties.
