    Congrats on reduction of amount due to parentals. I know that has been bothering you. May I suggest that although, you do owe other money, that you concentrate on your emergency fund. As you are a person doing it all yourself, may I suggest that when your EF is full that any other free money is split between paying something off and increasing that EF.


    If there is one thing I have always found it is that if you have the funds available, less actually ever goes wrong, when it does go wrong it seems to cost less & also when it goes wrong it causes you less stress.
