After you file

Congratulations on taking your finances in the right direction by paying down your debt,

 

Your next consideration should be to build and maintain 6-12 months’ worth of living expense in the form of a money market fund or bank savings to cover a possible job loss and/or unexpected expenses.

 

You can currently earn more interest income in an internet bank such as American Express (1.7%) than a conventional “bricks and mortar”bank.

Good luck,
