Those "$500 in checking account" articles are bullshit. They literally ask about your checking account - if you transfer money to a savings account at the end of the month instead, you're in the "at risk" party.

So if they ask about savings accounts is it bullshit too to the people who keep their money in checking?

Yes, actually. You should just ask "if you had a $500 expense come up, could you afford it, or would it financially ruin you?" basically.
