Hello MMM community,
I have only been reading this blog for the last 6 weeks or so but am obsessed with it. I am starting my new job after I graduate in one month and along with that I get a $2,500 after taxes signing bonus. I also received $3,100 for my tax refunds (being a student really helps get money back). So in total I consider that I got $5,600 in extra money this year. My question is, should I take that $5,600 and start a Vanguard Index Fund account or put that towards my $11,182 in student loans? Also if the Vanguard Index Fund is the right choice what accounts would you recommend? I have been researching the VFINX per MMM advice in one of his early blog posts.
