Extra $1000 poll results

In our recent What would you do if you had an extra $1000 poll almost half said that they would put in it an emergency fund. Paying off credit card debts was second. I stick to Dave Ramsey guidance in establishing a mini emergency fund of $1000 and then putting the rest towards debts. Hopefully it you paying off Visa and Mastercard you have a small rainy day fund. One choice that I didn't add was put it towards retirement in a Roth if you haven't already maxed out.


Stash it away for a rainy day 44%

I already spent it so paying off Visa and MC 32%

Put it towards non-credit card bills 16%

A mini vacation 4%

Shopping Spree
0%

Other-put down in comments what you would do
4%
