Pay Down Debt: If you have credit card debt, this may be a good choice. Read more about managing credit in Chapter 4 “Accounts and Credit” in Financial Independence Essentials – What You Need to Know When You Are Starting Out.

 

Contribute to Your Emergency Fund: This rainy-day fund provides a financial cushion when unexpected bills or difficult life events happen. This allows you to deal with the unexpected in a lower-stress cost-effective way. Each one of our books details how you should have 3 – 6 months or more of expenses covered in a readily available account.

 

Invest in a Retirement Account: Open or add to a Roth or traditional IRA. Learn the difference in Chapter 6 “Planning for Major Life Events”
