I'll make this pretty quick, I'm 24 and I had been making $10 an hour for the past year and my wife has been making $13. We're doing okay paying our bills but didn't have much to save. I just accepted an offer 45k a year at the same org (I love where I work), and I'm wondering what to do when our emergency fund is saved up. We do not have an emergency fund that can sustain us for 3 months, so that is our top priority.
We've lived well below our means, even while I got paid $10/hr and she got paid $13/hr. We are working off our student loans and have 33k left. My question is, once that emergency fund is saved should we aggressively pay off our debt until it's paid off and then save for a house? OR save for a home and pay off debt less aggressively at the same time?
