Episode notes
ADVICE

Top Up Emergency Fund Before Risky Bets

  • Treat a cash bonus as emergency-fund top-up first: target three to six months of expenses before other uses.
  • Move bonus money into a high-yield savings account to reach a safer cushion before speculative investing.
ADVICE

Keep Low-Rate Debt And Prioritize Roth IRA

  • Don’t pay off low-rate auto debt under ~6%; keep low monthly payments and invest instead.
  • Start a Roth IRA and aim to max it (about $625/month) before overweighting taxable bets.
ADVICE

Build A Bridge Account For Early Flexibility

  • Open a taxable 'bridge' account to hold accessible investment capital for flexibility before age 59½.
  • Fund it regularly (even a few hundred dollars monthly) to avoid penalty-driven borrowing for life events.
