It is good to have cash and better to have a mix of both assets and cash.You would certainly need an amount of cash for short term expenses and emergencies.

The question how much cash is enough and how much assets should one accumulate at a time?

There is such a process called asset balancing.

To do an asset re-balancing ,you need to take inventory of your all your assets,liability and calculate your net-worth.Put in pespective percentages of all these figures.Next look at what is your cash ratio by determining the cash position.As a general rule if you are below 30% of cash equivalent your assets are inbalance.You need to liquidate some assets or increase your cash allocation.Its simple but if it need be you should engage some professional help.

Good Luck !
