His total retirement projections sit at $1.7M STEPS Build Emergency Fund I would aim to get $10k-20k saved up to cover 3-6 months worth of your expenses and consider putting this in a high-yield savings account. Car Loan If your 8% rate makes you uncomfortable, consider paying to this pay off early with your excess money. Now that you have an emergency fund and your car (or not) paid off, you can start piling money for your down payment. Depending on how much you need saved, you might be on this step for a while. Roth & HSA With a full emergency fund and potentially in your new home, I'd reevaluate your budget and, depending on how much your excess cash has changed, I'd look into opening a Roth IRA and HSA (if your employer offers an HSA plan) Please do your own research and make sure you only open accounts that work for your situation. Max Out 401k Once you've completed all of the steps (that you choose to) before this one, I'd look into increasing your 401k contributions and trying to get as much put away in your 401k as possible.
