Alrighty. Let's do this.

The background: 30 years old, in a job I hate. Looking to move soon and will have moving costs.

The debt: $7,987.
Interest on debt:1.49%

The income: <$43,000

The savings:
Savings account: $3,027
Checking: $1,473

The investments (all with USAA):
Roth IRA: $22,021
Mutual funds: $18,041

The windfall: $1,527

My question is: should I put that windfall towards the debt, into the investments, or into my savings, or should I split it between them?

Savings account to cover emergency fund and upcoming moving costs.  The interest rate on your debt is very low, pay that off last.

Good luck!

Agreed. You know have $4,554 in savings.

If I remember correctly, you live in the same part of the world as me. But that could be another user. . .

Like another user said, I would attack the low interest debt last.


Best of luck with the move!

I live about an hour from Greenville, yes. And the move hasn't been finalized. :/ I'm on a hunt for a new job in a new city, but I'm running into the problem where they won't hire me if I don't live there, but I'm hesitant about moving without a job in hand. Basically, I have doubts.

I might have to bite the bullet and just move somewhere.

You need liquidity right now. You can always put extra cash into investments later.
