6 months is the minimum recommended safety net, but in this environment 12 months gives you more of a buffer.

In your case, just focus on saving for a down payment since your parents have the other expenses covered.
Yeah that's kind of what I was planning on. Should I pay off the car first or just use that money for the down payment of house? I was also thinking about transferring the car to my name after I get full time work and I can get a loan. This way I can start building up my credit since I will be the main person on the loan. I have a better credit score than both my parents right now, but am lacking in credit history.
