I also set up a direct deposit of cash that goes into my house fund and not my main checking or savings and isn’t included in my budget. Set it and forget it!!

While building a emergency fund. We do not have a large emergency fund yet we save5% for it but it’s not a priority

The first one is paying off my debt. I ‘m working very hard to get rid of my credit card and student loan debt. The second thing that I’m doing is tracking my net worth. I’m still in the negative, but it won’t be like that forever.

Today, we do a combination of all eight of your suggestions on a monthly basis. We put most of our money toward paying off debt and investing since they have the most upside for us.

We also review our spending each month to make sure we don’t have to pull from our emergency fund to pay our regular monthly bills.

Because we have an emergency fund, we don’t stress about not having enough money to pay our bills. It’s a great feeling and I highly recommend it.

I built my emergency fund while paying off my debt, and it saved me more times than I’d like to admit lol. Such a good list!
