I'm getting a raise

**Deborah_Kate** · 01-02-2006, 05:58 PM

It will amount to about $21 a week before taxes, insurance and 401K come out of it so I wil probably get around $10 if I am lucky in my check. What you you do? Debt it or bank it for an emergency fund?

Do not spend it. Put it towards debt!!

**Darlene** · 01-02-2006, 07:42 PM

Yep get rid of that debt, especially if it's costing you more with interest.

Oh, Congratulations!

First of all,

, congratulations on the raise!!!

Secondly, my vote goes to putting the extra toward your debt. Once that's under control, then worry about the rest.

Another vote for putting it onto your debt! Congrats on your raise!

Congrats!

It's "extra" money so I agree put towards debt! The same thing just happened to me and it does not seem fair that my raise not go towards a new kitchen or whatever but all in due time.

Just concurring with everyone else-

and put it toward debt.

Thanks everybody. That's what I was planning on doing, and now I feel vindicated. Brian thought that meant I could shop elsewhere besides Aldi. Ummmm, no, not until we get the debt gone. I really need to plug in my cc balances. And those are just mine, his are just as bad. UGH!!!
