I have 4k left at the end of the month to find a home for…what should I do?
4k left after all bills and some buffer is built in.
Have a 6 month emergency set between HYSA and SWVXX in my brokerage.
I have 25k left on a car note at 4.99%. I’ve been putting extra to it each month so it’s technically paid through June right now.
Should I go scorched earth on the car note until summer?
Or
Do 2k on the car and 2k into my taxable brokerage to build a dividend portfolio?
I already max my 401k and HSA.
