You are one emergency short of losing track of your finances. If you are confused about whether you should pay off debt or save, you are not alone, although everyone’s financial situation is different. Before I took up my Financial Reboot journey, I was more focused on growing my savings accounts as opposed to paying off debt first.

When it comes to you finances, are you doing okay, but know you could be doing better? When it comes to money, most of us could stand to up our game a bit. You want to be able to contribute to investment accounts and build up a solid savings to get you through an emergency or unexpected job loss.

This emergency might be one related to a natural disaster, or it might be a financial emergency, such as a job loss. I have some money in a savings account that is easy to get to, in case I need it immediately. However, I also keep emergency funds in a taxable investment account.
