About to turn 23 in August. Current salary before taxes is $51k. Employer matches retirement contributions up to 6%, and I am currently putting in that full 6% per paycheck into my retirement. I have almost $4k saved up in retirement funds.
Current Debts: -Credit Card: $1,500 -Private student loans: ~$10,000 at 9.99% (Ouch, WF) ($130/month) -Government student loans: ~$6,800 at 4.75% ($70/month) -Car: $235/month -After splitting the mortgage & bills with my fiancé, I would say living expenses are ~$850/month
Not to mention, we are getting married next July, so there are the costs associated with that. I cannot stop obsessing over getting out of this awful debt. I know it's not terrible, but it still feels like a weight to me. Do I stop retirement contributions for a period to throw that ~$250/month at debt? If so, which debt do I tackle first?
