    Question When your debt is paid off will you continue to

    roll that snowball money over into a savings account, cd or invest? I've been thinking about this for a while and I think that once we have about a year's worth of living expenses (and believe you me we are no where near that) in savings, I'd like a fully funded emergency fund and then start investing the money.
    Anyone else consider what you'll do with all that money?

    ~48 yr. old sahw, livin' it up in our empty nest, smack dab in the middle of everywhere.~

    *We're debt freeeeeeeee! (including the house)*

    Once we have paid off our debt, we plan to put some money into fixing up our current house so that we can sell it and move the "boonies"

    Once our debt is paid off, we plan on travelling and having a well funded EF account.

    When our first loan is oiad off in 2 months this will go into our emergency fund. When the next one is paid off it will go towards buying a new car. when the third is paid off (and the cash from the other 2 have done their job) this will all go on the mortagage.

    It really is a big help knowing the end date of all of these debts so we can make plans for where the cash will go.

    Hopefully, I can get my debt ALL paid off in 2 years so I can save more for my "new home". I hoping to move out of my parents' house within 5 years.
